In the early 1970s, California Governor Ronald Reagan commissioned a new home to replace the aging Sacramento governor’s mansion, but he left office before it was completed. And his successor, Jerry Brown, fearing negative publicity over the luxury mansion, never moved into the home. Reagan was elected US president in 1981, and the house was sold to a private citizen. The home is now for sale at $7.5 million.
