Morgan, who is currently expecting, is Clint’s youngest child. While Clint spent most of his life building his career, he always made time for his children whenever he could.
The veteran actor emphasized that, despite his busy schedule, his daughter takes precedence over everything. Although his dedication to fatherhood is evident now, Clint admits that his focus on parenting hasn’t always been as strong.

But when it came to her daughter’s special day, he had to give her the best. Morgan’s beautiful wedding ceremony was held at her father’s ranch, where Clint lives with his girlfriend, Christina Sandera. The ranch, built in the early 1850s, was almost falling apart when Clint purchased it.

The veteran actor has since done numerous renovations, transforming it into a luxurious retreat with thirty-one guest rooms, a renovated restaurant and bar, and some of the most scenic views in California. The property also boasts a workout room and a tennis court, offering guests a blend of rustic charm and modern amenities.
Clint’s connection to the ranch goes way back to when he was 21 and a recruit at the nearby Fort Ord. Seeking a quick, cheap meal and a soda, he stumbled upon the ranch, which was then a lowkey restaurant and hotel, formerly a dairy farm and the Fort Ord officers’ club.

He immediately fell in love with the place. “The first time I saw the place, I thought it was terrific. Visually, it was something else, and I thought it was the place I’d like to call home. So I kind of adopted Carmel,” Clint recalled.
He worked hard and after finding success in Hollywood, Clint returned, bought the ranch, and began extensive renovations, turning it into a home and a haven for those looking to escape their busy lives.

The ranch also holds a special place in Clint’s heart, as it was where he directed his first movie. In the 1980s, when the property was about to be torn down for another condominium development, Clint swooped in and, after spending $5 million, saved it.
“I had always loved the place, and they were just going to flatten it. They said it was obsolete. I thought it should be preserved as what it was,” he shared.

As one drives into the property, the beautifully restored buildings come into view. The ranch is surrounded by tended flowers, cypresses, and eucalyptus trees. The restaurant is a lively, bustling place with an active bar. Plus a night in one of the guest houses reveals stunning views of the Carmel River and a sandy beach.
The ranch also features lush wetlands, a beautiful sea view and the rocky Monterey coastline, with assorted farm animals, including goats, sheep, and horses.

In addition to the ranch’s personal significance, Clint’s involvement in Carmel extended to his role as the town’s mayor in the 1980s. After the city council denied him permission to renovate another property, Clint took them to court and won.
Realizing that many other residents faced similar issues, he ran for mayor the following year and won by a landslide. His tenure as mayor further solidified his commitment to preserving the town’s unique charm and natural beauty.
The ranch, with its rich history and stunning scenery, was the perfect backdrop for Morgan’s wedding. It symbolized the union of two people and the enduring legacy of Clint’s dedication to family and community.
The photos Morgan shared on Instagram captured the essence of the day. A beautiful bride glowing with expectancy, a proud father, and a celebration steeped in love and tradition.
