Daffy Zone…..

Does this piece of real-estate look familiar? It’s the Kirkeby mansion in Bel Air - better known as the home of the Clampetts on “The Beverly Hillbillies.”
An agreement was made between Filmways Productions and Arnold Kirkeby to film the exterior of the Kirkeby mansion. The agreement stipulated that the grounds had to be cleaned up after filming and the address of the Kirkeby mansion was never to be divulged to the public.
Just before the fourth season got underway, Mrs. Kirkeby broke the agreement her late husband had made with Filmways Productions since the mansion’s address was leaked which caused an endless stream of tourists who were looking for Jed and Granny. Filmways was not allowed to film the mansions exterior or film any long shots of the mansion grounds after that.
The Kirkeby Mansion is still currently standing at 750 Bel Air Road in Bel-Air in almost the exact same condition (the exterior anyway) it was in the 1960s when The Beverly Hillbillies was filmed. It is, sadly, no longer visible from the street.
After being on the market for two years, it finally sold for $150M to Lachlan Murdoch, son of media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
