EXCLUSIVE: Barack and Michelle Obama’s Former Martha’s Vineyard Hideaway Finds a Buyer—Weeks After Listing for $39 Million
Realtor ^ | 6/18/25 | Kelsi Karruli

Posted on 06/19/2025 1:20:38 AM PDT by Libloather

The gorgeous Martha's Vineyard getaway where Barack and Michelle Obama used to spend their summers has found a buyer - just six weeks after it was put on the market for $39 million.

Known as Blue Heron Farm, the sprawling Massachusetts property played host to the Obamas for three consecutive summers starting in 2009, with reports at the time suggesting that the family paid a staggering $50,000 a week to rent the abode.

But the family was forced to find an alternative summer sanctuary when the Chilmark, MA, home was sold to a new owner—who carried out extensive renovations on the 30-acre property, while also taking it off the rental market, instead using it as a full-time dwelling.

Now, however, the iconic retreat looks set to change hands, with its listing agents, Brian Dougherty and Maggie Gold Seelig with Corcoran confirming to Realtor.com® that it is now in contract, although details of the offer are not yet known.

The opulent sanctuary seemingly went into contract on June 16, after spending a mere 40 days on the market.

No doubt they’ll need an exorcist to come in as soon as they close.

Sounds more like like liquidation in anticipation of death or divorce.

Have a buddy with a oilfield service company selling his Hawaii house, mountain house, company, all to make the inevitable divorce easier. (Wife is nailing her fitness instructor.). He’ll “retire” shortly then start working again after the divorce is final and his inevitable noncompete runs out.

Probably $50 million. She’ll be penniless in 5 years.

Both obamas should be in prison.

Is it me or is this article not well written? Its poorly written. The headline gives the impression that Obama sold the house when, in fact, the sale and ownership had nothing to do with him.


Oh yes, I see now. I thought they owned the home.

Agreed. Consolidation of assets to facilitate distribution.

The current Seller at least realized when they bought it that it needed extensive renovation to get the Obama stench out of it.

Hopefully ALL will NOW get the point...they were NOT the owners! Does anyone need anything more to prove that some people will go off the deep end without even bothering with the facts? That’s their default position!

Click bait crap.

This is the estate where they hung out at during the Pres. years; the Obamas do own a home in Martha’s Vineyard though.

House looks like it is steeped in “white supremacy”, cant see how they could have ever lived in it.
They must be Uncle Toms acting white.
