Rancho del Cielo, Presidential ranch in Santa Barbara County, United States
The 688-acre ranch sits at 2,240 feet elevation in the Santa Ynez Mountains, featuring a five-room house, stables, and Lake Lucky pond.
Ronald and Nancy Reagan purchased the property in 1974 for $527,000, transforming it into their vacation residence for over two decades.
The ranch, known as the Western White House during Reagan's presidency, hosted meetings with global leaders including Queen Elizabeth II and Mikhail Gorbachev.
Young America's Foundation now maintains the property, offering educational visits for students and foundation supporters while remaining closed to general public.
President Reagan spent time cutting wood, riding horses, and maintaining the property himself, often using manual labor as inspiration for his speeches.
