A mid-century modern compound owned by the late President Gerald Ford has hit the market. The good people at Curbed bring word that Ford’s desert retreat in Rancho Mirage, California – found on the 13^th fairway of the Thunderbird Country Club – can be yours for $1.699 million.

Shortly after completing his tenure as the 38^th President of the United States, Ford and his first lady, Betty, commissioned the building of what would become their retirement home in Rancho Mirage, California on a 1.37 acre parcel that, as Curbed notes, was purchased from former ambassador and business magnate Leonard Firestone. To handle the design, the presidential couple tabbed celebrated architect Welton Becket (see: Capitol Records Building, Pauley Pavilion, Disney Resort), who devised a 6,316-square-foot single-story floor plan with a signature flat roof. The home offers a total of six bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths, his and hers offices, swimming pool, which Ford was said to have used daily, and wealth of natural light through skylights and other light-wells.

Sweetening the deal is possibility of negotiating the purchase of the home’s original furnishings, including, but not limited to a lime green-themed living room set, vintage brown bedroom set, Ford’s office desk, patio furniture and more. And if one presidential pad wasn’t enough, another of Ford’s properties, a 5,284-square-foot “official office” and “guard shack” of the former Commander in Chief, lies just up the road from his mod compound and is said to be available for $509,000.
