Barack and Michelle Obama may soon become Kennedy adjacent because we've learned they're in escrow for a remarkable, mega-expensive, Martha's Vineyard estate.
Multiple island sources tell us the Obamas are in escrow for the estate owned by Boston Celtics owner, Wyc Grousbeck. The former Prez and First Lady have been renting the house this summer and loved it so much, we've learned they made an offer. The property is listed at $14,850,000. Our sources say they're paying less, but we don't know how much.
The estate -- incredible. It's 29 beachfront acres. The main residence is just shy of 6,900 square feet. It has 7 bedrooms, so Sasha and Malia have a place to crash, along with several of their friends. It has the obligatory pool, an outdoor fireplace, a chef's kitchen, vaulted ceilings and 2 guest wings. It has incredible views, especially while soaking in the second-floor balcony Jacuzzi.
The beachfront is private ... and comes with a boathouse.
Downside -- only a 2-car garage!!! Sorry kids.
The estate is listed by the realtors who dominate the area -- Tom LeClair and Gerret Conover. They did not return our calls.
The estate is currently in escrow and it's not a done deal just yet. We're told there are contingencies so it's possible it could fall apart, but we're told so far it's a go.
Has nothing to do with a vacation property....they want a political retreat for their activists and such. They’ve been gathering in the Vineyard since just before he left office......they have to offer a fun place to go or the people won’t show otherwise.
You can search the web for Obama and Goldman Sachs and Cantor Fitzgerald.
Obama was paid for services rendered while President.
“and comes with a boathouse.”
Why did my brain see “bathhouse” on first scan ?
Same here. I expect the kenyan will become quite the yachtsman and Reggie will be his first mate when he hangs out in the “boathouse” on the property.
maybe michelle will like it there enough that she won’t want to run for president
Obama “at a certain point, you’ve made enough money”, “there’s only so big a house you can have”.
Never assume a democrat says what you think he says.
It was a beautiful place. I remember back in the day, walking along the clay cliffs at Gay Head. No can do anymore. Off limits now, as I understand it. Is there anything that the Left will not ruin?
Bigmouth Liberal Bullhockey Artists, Spewing AGW Male Bovine Fecal Matter. They are my “canaries in the coal mine”. As long as the Obloviators and their crowd keep scarfing up beachfront properties, I KNOW there is NO DANGER from the rising sea levels. What’s next for Barack and Mike? A Learjet? What carbon footprint?! That stuff only applies to Deplorables in Flyover Country.
Because Teddy’s early endorsement was huge.
Uh, at some point, uh you made enough money.
The surly daughter is dating a white guy.
Weird, everything in that house is white. Pics at link.
Now obammy can dream of his nice place that other people are enjoying while he sits in prison.
2 weeks in Menemsha harbor Aug 60’, tied to the dock at Pools Fish Market. The tournament and the Hurricane along with the Coastguard operator moving a sail boat into position damaging 3 boats with it, including ours. What a memorable 2 weeks.
This would be a good time to declare all Ocean Front Property Uninhabitable due to Climate Change and RED TAG and QUARANTINE all Structures within 1 mile of the Ocean before it Rises up and KILLS EVERYONE close.
Beat me to it.
But the Jeffersons earned their money the honest way - so it’s an insult to them.
He’s not going to prison and neither are the Clintons. You should know that by now.
And I thought our house was huge at 4000ft
I call it Fawlty Towers (it’s big, white and full of weirdos..lol) :-)
Seven bedrooms, 4 of ‘em filled with junk.
(got more acreage though at 40)
“I love the scene from Dr Zhivago when he comes home and finds it occupied.”
Then Zhivago & his family flee Moscow to their country estate, only to find it sealed shut by the Bolsheviks.
Zhivago discovers that wishing to be left alone is now a crime:
“You may not be interested in the Revolution, comrade, but the Revolution is interested in you.”
Anyway, I’m convinced that most of the rich, super rich, and nouveaux riches (Obamas, Clintons, Kennedys) are left wing. There’s nothing to envy. I don’t even want to live in a house so big it requires staff.
Was Tony Resko involved?
