Stunning Estate On The Vineyard Rented By Obamas Now For Sale

Years before Barack and Michelle Obama were home owners on Martha's Vineyard, they were summer renters of a stunning 30-acre property in Chilmark.

From 2009 to 2011, the Obama family rented this amazing estate known as Blue Heron Farm for a reported $50,000 per week each summer.

Unfortunately for them, that property was sold in 2011 to British architect Norman Foster for $22.4 million who, although asked, did not want to keep renting to the Obamas during the summer season.

But now Foster is selling Blue Heron Farm for an asking price of $39 million and the former summer haven of a U.S. President is about to get another new owner.

What House Did Barack Obama Rent on Martha's Vineyard?

For a few summers the Obamas spent their summer's at Blue Heron Farm on Cobbs Hill Road in Chilmark.

What Home Did The Obamas Buy on Martha's Vineyard?

Despite all that presidential history, Blue Heron Farm was never actually owned by a former president.

The Obamas only rented the estate for three summers, but they clearly fell in love with life on Martha's Vineyard because the did buy themselves a property there eventually.

In 2019, the couple finally put down permanent roots in their favorite vacation spot, buying a seven-bedroom, 6,892-square-foot home for $11.75 million.
