One of the most exclusive estates in the Northeast, Blue Heron Farm on Martha's Vineyard is set on nearly 30 acres of lush landscaping along the shores of Tisbury Great Pond. The former summer residence of President Obama and family, chosen for its privacy, serenity and significance, this multi-generational compound is protected by surrounding farmland and mature trees. Approached by a long gated drive and a 150-year-old barn relocated from Pennsylvania, the beautiful Main House with bespoke interiors and a wraparound porch overlooks rolling lawns and a quintessential boat house with dock and private beach. A separate guest house, design studio, gym, tennis court, garages, additional guest accommodations and staff housing are thoughtfully sited around the property. Multiple riding rings and paddocks for equestrians and gentleman farmers, while the stunning Norman Foster-designed pool house is a true work of art, ideal for personal relaxation or sophisticated entertaining.
