A multimillion-dollar estate the Obama family stayed at several times during trips to Martha’s Vineyard is up for sale.

The owners, identified as architect Norman Foster and his family, are looking to get $39 million for the massive Blue Heron Farm on the Massachusetts island, The Wall Street Journal reported April 25.

MGS Group Real Estate’s Maggie Gold Seelig and Corcoran Property Advisors’ Brian Dougherty are listing the property on the seller’s behalf, according to the outlet.

Blue Heron Farm spans 30 acres in Chilmark, Massachusetts.

The main house consists of approximately 7,000 square feet, according to the Journal. On the estate, there is a separate guesthouse with five bedrooms.

The estate also includes a large barn and a boat house, according to the outlet.

Amenities for an active lifestyle are also present on the property, including a basketball court, tennis court and riding rings.

Under the Foster family's ownership, Blue Heron Farm has undergone renovations. Its main house got a revamp, with a pool and nearby pool house also being constructed by the family, the Journal reported

Blue Heron Farm has belonged to the Fosters since 2011.

If you read the article, this is where the Obama stayed when in office.

The place for sale is NOT the place the Obama bought, where the chef drowned.

That is THIS place. Everything I ever needed to know about how The Authorities really feel about climate change, is embodied in Obama's home on Martha's Vineyard.

No one asks how the Obama came up with the kind of dough to buy this place. As an extra home, no less

Prospective purchasers need to be sure to factor in the cost of fumigation.

No doubt the Obama’s infected the place with cockroaches that were hiding in Big Mike’s crotch. /spit

“That is THIS place. Everything I ever needed to know about how The Authorities really feel about climate change, is embodied in Obama’s home on Martha’s Vineyard.”

Musk should buy it and offer it to the DHS to use as a holding facility for the most violent illegals. Drive the housing prices there down to nothing.

It was a $65 million book deal, as I recollect.

Obamas never owned it. The ultra rich “entertain” a lot and they were “entertained” there.

i never “got” the whole Marthas Vineyard/ Nantucket Island thing...the beaches are weedy and ugly, the water never really gets “warm”, always seems very windy. Nope, give me Tropical breezes and Palm Trees any day...

One of the grifting ways everyone elected does. Selling influence is where is all starts.

Yup—the Mooch had a tough life.

White racists forced her/him/whatever to live in luxury.

Getting ready for the split.

Michelle has no worries regarding Obozo.

She knew how the chef was murde4red.

The buyer should first fumigate the place.
