For Sale: Former Obama Summer Home

Did the Obamas really sleep in the attic here? Who knows. The fact is, their former summer home on posh Martha's Vineyard is back on the market – this time with a whopping price tag of €36,3 million. And to top it all off, the house has since been given a major makeover by star architect Norman Foster.

Say Blue Heron Farm and chances are you’ll get a nostalgic smile from Barack and Michelle. This gem of an estate in Chilmark, Martha’s Vineyard, was their summer base from 2009 to 2011. It’s now owned by none other than architect Norman Foster. 

If you’re thinking of a typical New England home with porches, wooden shingles and views of a rippling pond, you’re in luck. Add to that a sleek pool and a pool house by Foster himself, and you’ll understand: this is no ordinary vacation home. Here, tranquility, style and history come together on almost 12 acres of private land.

Inside, you’ll find over 650 square feet of living space spread across elegant rooms with vaulted ceilings, fireplaces, and a picture-postcard dining room. Outside, a full estate awaits: a boathouse with dock, five-bedroom guesthouse, tennis and basketball courts, a gym, apple orchard, horse pasture, and staff quarters.

The Obamas once paid $46.500 a week to vacation here. Now you can stay all year…
