The Mid-Century Modern Compound Boasts Presidential Heritage and Incredible American River Views
CARMICHAEL, Calif. — October 24, 2025 — Originally commissioned by former President Ronald Reagan to meet the exacting security standards of wife, Nancy, while he served as governor of California, 2300 California Avenue in Carmichael has been listed for $7,500,000 by Hattie Coleman of HomeSmart ICARE Realty.
This remarkable piece of history was intended to become the former California’s governor’s mansion, designed by acclaimed architects Buff & Hensman, AIA, alongside John C. Worsley, FAIA. The expansive mid-century modern masterpiece spans nearly 12,000 square feet on 4.3 acres, with picturesque views of the American River. The single-level estate boasts eight spacious bedrooms, eight full baths and two half baths, seamlessly blending timeless splendor with modern amenities.
Estate Features:
- Grand entry, atrium, ballroom and vaulted ceilings
- Two kitchens, two living rooms and sauna
- Six water features, two outdoor firepits and outdoor barbeque
- In-ground pool surrounded by lush landscaping
- Large lawn originally designed as a helipad
- American River views with private access
- Gated community; includes adjacent lot
- Upgraded metal roof with solar power system
Completed in 1975, the home embodied the Reagans’ vision for a secure and contemporary executive residence. Although the couple never lived there, a time capsule, placed by Ronald Reagan himself, remains on the property — scheduled to be opened in 2076.
“You can really feel the history here. It’s a part of our state’s story, situated on one of the most beautiful riverfront lots in Carmichael,” says Coleman.
