Nixon always enjoyed
telling the American people what simple folk he and his wife, Pat, were
in order to appeal to the middle-class voters.

His unassuming
simple lifestyle narrative was cast aside when it came to the choice of his
vacation White House.
All presidents have had their special getaways, many were owned long before they became president.

San Clemente on a ridge overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

During his presidency, he and Pat entertained many heads of
state there, including Leonid Brezhnev when signing the Soviet-American
communique in 1973.
It was where Nixon
wrote his memoirs after he resigned his presidency to avoid impeachment after
the Watergate scandal of the 1970s.

Structures are built
within the current 5.45 acres with 450 feet of beachfront.
They include a main residence of approximately 9,000 square

with guest wing, a two-bedroom guest house and multiple staff accommodations.

The home’s location was adjacent to Camp Pendleton Marine
Base providing convenient access to Air Force One and additional security.
San Clemente has grown considerably since the Nixons lived
there. Located halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego, it is filled with
Spanish architecture, lovely seaside parks and walking trails and is one of the
best surfing spots along the California coast.
Packed with charm, and visual beauty, it is the southernmost
city covered by the Los Angeles metropolitan area and carries the city slogan,
"Spanish Village by the Sea.”
