The couple had lived there since Reagan left office in 1988, and it was there that the 40th U.S. President battled Alzheimer’s Disease and ultimately passed away in 2004.

The Reagans held onto the San Onofre property throughout his terms as governor of California. But after they moved into the White House in 1980, they sold the house and didn’t purchase another until eight years later, after the end of the President’s second term — their final home, at the top of St. Cloud Road.
