Star Wars and Indiana Jones creator George Lucas has recently made headlines with his latest real estate investment! The iconic filmmaker has purchased two additional acres adjacent to his existing beachfront estate in the picturesque community of Carpinteria, California. According to The Wall Street Journal, this expansion cost him approximately $28 million, highlighting the value of properties in this celebrity-favored area.
The newly acquired land was previously owned by Frances Morehart, who passed away last year at the age of 93. Her estate sold the property, which features a charming Cape Cod-style house, similar to the one Lucas built when he first purchased land in the area back in 2010 for $19.5 million. This stunning beachfront location includes not only the main house but also a guest house, barn, and even a tree house, spread out over two acres of beautiful Pacific coastline.
While Lucas has chosen to remain silent on his latest acquisition, the allure of Carpinteria is evident, especially with other notable celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres and Kevin Costner also owning property in the area. Real estate experts suggest that the community's relative seclusion makes it appealing compared to more crowded celebrity hotspots like Malibu or Santa Monica. With its unique beachfront characteristics, including sand that remains stable even during winter months, Lucas now enjoys prime coastal real estate that is both exclusive and luxurious.
