The Western White House - San Clemente, CA

OCCOASTPROPERTIES reports on:

Nixon's "Western White House"

1925, Ole Hanson, with the financial help of a syndicate headed by Hamilton Cotton, purchased and designed a 2,000-acre community along the Southern California Coast line. Hanson believed that the area's pleasant climate, beautiful beaches and fertile soil would serve as a haven to Californians who were tired of "the big city".

In 1968 President Richard Nixon bought part of the H. H. Cotton estate, one of the original homes built by one of Hanson's partners. Nixon called it "La Casa Pacifica", but it was nicknamed the "Western White House". It sits above one of the West Coast's premier surfing spots, Trestles, and just north of historic surfing beach San Onofre. During Nixon's tenure it was visited by many world .On a recent visit to Cotton Point's private beach, OCCOASTPROPERTIES - Steve Mino and Natalie Vizir enjoyed a brief history lesson from one of the current long time residents and learned an interesting fact about the two statues of Mustangs that appear on the grounds. They are actually made from melt down tanks and given to Nixon as a gift from Breshnev! Following his resignation, Nixon retired to San Clemente to write his memoirs. He sold the home in 1980. The property also has historical ties to the Democratic side of the aisle; prior to Nixon's tenure at the estate, H.H. Cotton was known to host Franklin D. Roosevelt, who would visit to play cards in a small outbuilding overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
