The welcome gate at Rancho Del Cielo, the Ranch in the Sky, also known as the Western White House during Reagan's Presidency. This 688 acre ranch is near Santa Barbara, CA overlooking the Santa Ynez Valley and the Pacific Ocean.

The ranch was originally named Rancho de los Picos after Jos�es�co, a descendant of Santiago de la Cruz Pico who came with the Anza expedition in 1776, who homesteaded it and built the original adobe house in 1871. The Pico family owned the ranch until 1941, when one of Jose Pico's sons, Joe, sold it to Frank Flournoy, a surveyor for Santa Barbara County, for $6,000 (equal to $94,805 today). He, in turn, sold the ranch to Roy and Rosalie Cornelius, who purchased additional land for the property.

The Reagans bought the ranch from the Cornelius's for about $527,000 in 1974 (equal to $2,483,514 today) when his second term as Governor of California was coming to an end. The estate contains a pond called Lake Lucky, stables and a barn for horses, and a 1,500 ft� (139 m�) house decorated with 1970s-style furniture. The ranch is located on the crest of the Santa Ynez Mountains adjacent to Refugio Pass. It can be reached from the ocean side of the mountains by the one-lane, paved Refugio Road from U.S. Route 101, and from the other side of the mountains by an unpaved, one-lane road from Solvang, California. The dirt road may not be passable during the rainy season.

The ranch is now owned by the Young Americans for Freedom Foundation and isn't open to the public. However, private tours are available and can be arranged through the YAF office in Santa Barbara, CA.
