Rare Glimpse Inside Kevin Costner’S Home After Yellowstone Star’S Divorce Battle Over $145M Beachfront Compound

 

Kevin Costner recently gave fans a rare look at his $145million beachfront compound in Santa Barbara, California.

On April 18, the Yellowstone star, 70, took to Instagram to upload footage of himself hanging out inside the lavish home with his dog Bob.

Fans could see the incredible ocean view from Costner’s living room as he relaxed in a chair with his laptop in his lap.

As Costner spoke to the adorable pooch, the cameraman showed off the home’s interior decor by slowing panning around the room.

Costner’s living area has a plush off-white couch situated in front of a wall mounted flat screen TV with magnificent floor-to-ceiling windows.

There’s also built-in wall storage, comfy beige lounge chairs and a large striped rainbow rug for a fun pop of color against the gray-brown wood floors.

Dark wood end tables break up the room’s neutral tones of white, beige and gray.

 

Costner has the walls painted white and the window frames a shiny black for a clean, modern look.

Just off the living is a small dining area with a white table with wooden chairs, a modern lighting fixture, a tall leafy green plant and blue glass vases on display atop a credenza.

Costner also appears to have some ocean-themed artwork hung up above the fireplace, which is situated just to the right of the TV set.

The point of the clip wasn’t to show off Costner’s enviable living arrangements but to give fans a look at his dog Bob’s hilarious begging technique as the pup shamelessly carried his food bowl around the room in his mouth.

Costner snapped up the Santa Barbara compound for $60million in 2017 during his marriage to Christine Baumgartner, who divorced the star in May 2023 after 18 years of marriage and three children together.

The former couple’s divorce turned sour as they battled over division of assets, including who would get to stay in their $145million marital home.

One month into the contentious split, Costner claimed that his ex Baumgartner was refusing to leave the property, which went against their prenuptial agreement, as per TMZ.

Baumgartner was eventually ordered by a judge to move out of the compound shared with Costner by that July.

By September, she moved into a $40,000-per-month rental property in neighboring Montecito.

The couple’s divorce was finalized in February 2024, with Costner agreeing to pay his ex $63,000 per-month in child support.

Costner’s April Instagram video isn’t the first time he’s showed off his incredible 10-acre bachelor pad.

He did so last April while presenting his 2023 F-250 Powerstroke diesel 4×4 custom design vehicle from Arizona’s Lifted Trucks.

The star allowed unprecedented access into his compound for the stunning video, which showed him taking in the 10-acre estate’s incredible ocean views, relaxing at sunset with son Cayden, 17.

He said: ‘Lifted Trucks kinda came to my rescue a little bit because they understood what I was going for.

‘And I didn’t know exactly how to go about it as I’m not a gearhead, so to speak, so I said, tell me what’s possible.

‘And when they dropped it off at my front door in Santa Barbara, California… I don’t really get excited, I’ve had so many cool things happen in my life…

‘I was really excited when I saw it on my driveway.

The star said he wanted the vehicle to ‘jump in the eye of anyone who sees it’ and said: ‘I just had such a good experience, this is what I needed.

‘I don’t know if mine looks cool but it feels cool. It works for me.’

The home is perched on a clifftop and boasts unrivaled ocean views. Costner originally designed a dream home with a pool and guest house but, due to family commitments and spending time at his Aspen home, he never got around to redeveloping the site.

The compound comes with 500 feet of private beach, surrounded by cliffs, and Costner has built an apparent recreational house on the property which is surrounded by outdoor furniture and umbrellas.

Costner already had a home on the beach in Carpinteria but bought a 17-acre parcel of land complete with a modest two-bedroom, two-bathroom ranch in 2006 for $28.5million – after jogging past one day and seeing a for sale sign.

In 2007, he sold seven acres of the land to a neighbor, but combined his homes to create one seamless estate.

The original parcel of land came with a polo practice field which Costner converted to a baseball field, with a longtime pal of the star telling WSJ in 2017: ‘We’ve had some great baseball games there.’

The home also boasts views of the Santa Barbara mountains, several islands and its own horseback riding trail.

In 2017, the star put the stunning property on the market for a cool $60million.The home’s listing was removed without being sold sometime later that year,

In 2022, the house next to Costner’s was listed for $109 million.

Costner is said to have a net worth of around $250 million. The actor reportedly collected $1.5 million per episode during his time on the hit show Yellowstone.

In 2022, the actor became the best paid actor on TV when his salary hit $1.5 million per episode, reports Variety.

During the 1990s, Costner became one of the best paid stars in Hollywood when he received $14 million for his role in Waterworld.

In 1990, Costner was paid $3 million for his part in Dances With Wolves, a year later he earned over $40 million for his role in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, thanks to a deal that saw him take a share of the profits.
