                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Compensation Committee of the
  Board of Directors of Newhall Management
  Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for Plan
benefits with fund information of The Newhall Land and Farming Company Employee
Savings Plan as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the related statements of
changes in net assets available for Plan benefits with Fund Information for the
years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for Plan benefits of The
Newhall Land and Farming Company Employee Savings Plan as of December 31, 1995
and 1994 and the changes in those net assets for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedule of assets
held for investment is presented for purposes of complying with the Department
of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and is not a required part of
the basic financial statements.  The fund information in the statements of net
assets available for Plan benefits and the statements of changes in net assets
available for Plan benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis
rather than to present the net assets available for Plan benefits and changes
in net assets available for Plan benefits of each fund.  The supplemental
schedule and fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion,
are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

                      THE NEWHALL LAND AND FARMING COMPANY
                             EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                           December 31, 1995 and 1994

(1)   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

      The Newhall Land and Farming Company Employee Savings Plan (the Plan) is
      a deferred salary reduction plan under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
      (the Code) Section 401(k) and is subject to the provisions of the
      Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).  The Plan
      permits eligible employees of The Newhall Land and Farming Company and
      subsidiaries (the Company) to contribute up to 6% of their compensation
      plus an additional $2,000 for a total not to exceed $9,240 in 1995 and
      1994 into one or more of four investment funds.  Employee contributions
      reduce an employee's currently taxable compensation and, therefore, are
      not subject to income taxes until the amounts are withdrawn from the
      Plan.  An employee must complete one year of service and reach age 19 to
      become eligible to participate.

      For employee contributions of up to 6% of compensation, the Company may
      contribute an amount ranging from 25% to 75% of the employee's
      contribution depending upon the employee's length of service with the
      Company.  Company contributions may be suspended if Company net income is
      less than 5% of the capital of the Company's partners or for other
      reasons deemed appropriate by the Company's Board of Directors.

      Participants select the investment funds in which their contributions are
      to be invested.  The investment funds include the Fixed Income Fund and
      the Equity Index Fund and, pursuant to a Plan amendment in March 1994,
      the Partnership Depositary Unit Fund and the Balanced Investment Fund.
      Company contributions, when made, are invested proportionately in the
      same funds as the employee contributions.

      Total employees participating in each investment option as of December 31,
      1995 and 1994 are as follows:

      Employee and matching employer contributions to the Plan and income
      earned thereon are fully vested.

      Normal distributions are made in full upon (1) retirement, (2) total and
      permanent disability, (3) death or (4) termination of employment.
      Participants showing hardship may withdraw part or all of their
      contributions and accumulated earnings or losses, limited to earnings and
      losses incurred prior to January 1, 1990, at the end of a calendar
      quarter.  An employee who withdraws any amount of his contribution
      account is not permitted to resume participation for six months.
      Employer contributions and the related accumulated earnings may be
      withdrawn only upon one of the four above-listed occurrences.
      Distributions and withdrawals are made in cash.

      Effective October 1989, the Board of Directors amended the savings plan
      to permit loans to Plan participants, secured by the borrowing
      participant's interest in the Plan, on such nondiscriminatory terms and
      conditions as the Plan's administrative committee shall determine,
      provided, however,

      that such loans comply with applicable requirements of ERISA and the Code
      (including such restrictions as are necessary to prevent loans from being
      treated as distributions under Section 72(p) of the Code).  The loans are
      treated as an earmarked investment of the participants with interest
      repayments credited proportionately to the investment funds originally
      liquidated to provide the principal.

      Effective November 1991, the Plan was amended to permit qualified
      rollover contributions from other qualified plans.

      In the event of Plan termination, all payments will be made as soon as
      practicable from the assets of the Plan based on the amount in each
      participant's individual and employer contribution accounts.

      Newhall Management Corporation is sole trustee for the Plan.

      Participants should refer to the Plan document or summary Plan
      description for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

(2)   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES

      BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

      The financial statements for the Plan are prepared on an accrual basis,
      primarily from data submitted to the Plan administrator by the companies
      that function as investment managers: Connecticut General Life Insurance
      Company (CIGNA), Newhall Depositary Company and Wells Fargo Bank.

      INVESTMENTS

      All investment income is allocated to individual participant accounts.
      The Fixed Income Fund, held by CIGNA, represents a deposit with an
      insurance company and is stated at contract value, which represents
      contributions and income earned, less distributions and expenses charged.
      The Partnership Depositary Unit Fund is invested in partnership units in
      the Company.  The Equity Index Fund, held by Wells Fargo Bank, is a
      collective trust invested primarily in the common stocks that comprise
      the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.    The Balanced Investment Fund, held by
      Wells Fargo Bank, is a collective trust invested primarily in common
      stocks that comprise the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and in U.S. Treasury
      Bonds.  The Plan shares in the investment gains and losses of the
      securities underlying the Equity Index Fund, the Partnership Depositary
      Unit Fund and the Balanced Investment Fund which are stated at fair value
      based on quoted market prices.

      Loans to participants are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

      CONTRIBUTION POLICY

      Contributions by employees are voluntary and are determined as a
      specified percentage of base compensation plus overtime, excluding that
      portion of compensation imputed for tax purposes as a result of fringe
      benefits and other similar forms of compensation.

      PLAN EXPENSES

      Expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan are borne by the
      Company.

                    Notes to Financial Statements, Continued


      MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
      accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain
      estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
      liabilities and the amount of any contingent assets or liabilities
      disclosed in the financial statements.  Actual results could differ from
      estimates made.

      RECLASSIFICATIONS

      Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
      current year presentation.

(3)   FEDERAL TAXES

      The Company received a favorable determination letter from the Internal
      Revenue Service in September 1995 which stated that the Plan, as then
      designed, including certain proposed amendments, is in compliance with
      applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.  The proposed
      amendments were adopted by the Plan subsequent to receipt of the
      determination letter.

(4)   COMMITMENTS

      Included in net assets available for Plan benefits in the accompanying
      financial statements as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 are amounts
      totaling $130,220 and $178,956, respectively, allocated to accounts of
      persons who have requested withdrawal of their accounts from the Plan.

(5)   INVESTMENTS REPRESENTING FIVE PERCENT OR MORE OF NET ASSETS

      The fair value of investments representing 5% or more of the Plan's net
      assets as of  December 31, 1995 and 1994 are:

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' CONSENT




We consent to the incorporation by reference in the Registration statement no.
33-53769 on Form S-8 of our report dated April 22, 1996 relating to the
financial statements of The Newhall Land and Farming Company Employee Savings
Plan as of and for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, which report is
included in this Annual Report on Form 11-K.

Our report dated April 22, 1996 contains a paragraph which states that our
audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedule of assets held for
investment is presented for purposes of complying with the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements.  The fund information in the statements of net assets
available for Plan benefits and the statements of changes in net assets
available for Plan benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis
rather than to present the net assets available for Plan benefits and changes
in net assets available for Plan benefits of each fund.  The supplemental
schedule and fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion,
are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.
