Prairie Chapel Ranch, Ranch property in Crawford, Texas.

Prairie Chapel Ranch is a farm property near Crawford, Texas, that includes several limestone residential buildings, a pond, and open fields. The layout of the structures follows the gently rolling topography of the area.

The property was acquired by George W. Bush in 1999 and served as an informal residence during his presidency from 2001 to 2009. During that period, he received heads of state there and coordinated political matters.

The ranch takes its name from the Prairie Chapel School, built on land donated by German immigrant Heinrich Engelbrecht from Oppenwehe, who also gave land for the Canaan Baptist Church, the "Prairie Chapel". The Engelbrecht family raised turkeys and hogs here, and their original ranch house, now called the "Governor's House", stands about 4,400 feet away on Rainey Road.

The grounds are a private residence and normally not open to the public. Those interested in this part of Texas can explore the surrounding rural roads and nearby towns.

The guest bathroom has no mirror above the sink; the mirror hangs on a side wall so that anyone looking up sees an oak tree through the window. Architect David Heymann designed each room to frame a different part of the landscape.
