Bush Countdown: Sale of Crawford Ranch
Vanity Fair, which likes to tweak U.S. President George W. Bush any way it can, has started a “George W. Bush Crawford Ranch Sale Countdown.” In doing some quick office math (thanks, Mary!), it looks like this VF countdown will put Bush’s Crawford, TX, home on the market in the middle of June, 2009.
Rumors have been heating up that the prez — love him or hate him — will sell the ranch because his wife,
Laura, wants to live in a town that has more than one traffic light and a public
library. Evidently, reports have placed Laura’s top choice to be Highland Park, which is a suburb of Dallas and about a two-hour drive north of their Crawford ranch. Laura, if you’re interested in Highland Park, TX real estate, you’ll see it’s quite affordable with a Zindex of $90K (at this writing).
Check out some interesting satellite imagery of Bush’s Crawford ranch. Evidently, he did a lot of work to the property, known as the Prairie Creek Ranch, after buying it for $1.3 million from the Engelbrecht family in 1999.
Even Dallas Dirt is speculating that W is looking into a Dallas office. Oh, where will they land?
