 In 1999, just a couple years short of becoming president, George W. Bush bought a 1,500 acre hog farm known as Prairie Chapel Ranch and then completed developing the property by 2001. These days George's getaway property is anchored by a customized and quite modest single-level three-bedroom main house as well as an adjacent two-suite guest house hidden in a grove of trees. Located about halfway between Dallas and Austin, the natural beauty of this incredible land is exactly what drew George and his wife Laura to the area. No wonder.
