Could a presidential private retreat be your next home? If you've got $2.8 million to spare, the former estate of Lyndon B. Johnson near Johnson City, Texas is calling your name. The 36th president of our country bought the property in 1963, selling it in 1971, but his original bedroom and bathroom remain. While the 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom property was once part of an 800-acre ranch, it's now been split up into smaller parcels, with DMTX Realty listing a 142-acre parcel and the 2,841-square-foot main house, along with a secondary ranch home on-site.Currently, the residence is owned by celebrated contemporary Italian painter Benini and his wife Lorraine Benini, where their art-filled touches are seen throughout. Scroll down to go inside the historic dwellings and see the ranch's 360-degree views from its perch 1,800 feet in the air. Who's ready to catch some hill country sunsets with us?
