“Is there a CA home? That was the buzz a few years back but I thought that was a goner...one in the desert - high on a sand dune??”
Rancho Mirage, California: Obama Family Buys West Coast House, Report Says
Though the Washington home is spectacular, it is leased, but the Obamas have decided to put the real money down on a home in Rancho Mirage, California, says the Town & Country. For at least two years, it is the plan of Barack and Michelle Obama to be bicoastal. But just as Kalorama has experience with high-profile residents, so does Rancho Mirage, considering that is the area where President Gerald Ford moved when he retired.
Rancho Mirage is a golfing destination near Palm Springs, which is home to Sunnylands, the Annenberg estate, fondly known as “Camp David of the West.” But in terms of real estate, the Obamas are also said to be seeking property in Hawaii, where Barack Obama spent a great deal of time as a child. The Obamas are said to be working with interior designer Michael S. Smith, who decorated areas of the White House for the family, to decorate the Rancho Mirage and Hawaii homes.

That appears to be the same place that was talked about a few years ago. Yours has a current date on it. Thanks. I searched but didn’t see that.
This is the old article - 2014 - and it’s on a hilltop so must be the same one...

This the one I remember - and probably the same one referred to earlier. We could hope for a good size earthquake...It’s not too stable out there so..... We’re out of CA - LOL! Got out 10 years ago.
