Decades before Nixon called it home, another famous U.S. president would be a frequent guest of original owner and financier Hamilton Cotton. In the 1930’s Franklin Delano Roosevelt would often use the estate as a retreat.

Sitting on the sprawling 5.45 acre property is a 9,000 square foot main house with four bedrooms and seven baths, a one-bedroom,one-bath pool pavilion,one-bath guest house and two guest apartments.

La Casa Pacifica permanently became Nixon’s home after the Watergate scandal and his resignation, until it was sold in 1980.
