President-elect Donald Trump plans to stock his cabinet with some high rollers: his administration may have a net worth of more than $340 billion. All those incoming tycoons will need a place to crash when they arrive in DC. Here are three high-end properties with open houses this weekend that may appeal to future members of the administration. Luxury real-estate gawkers may also want to catch a peek.

Other amenities include a separate catering kitchen, an outdoor living room, and a carriage house—ready to be reimagined as a home office, cabana, or a roomy garage fit for a Cybertruck.
