Former President Barack Obama and his family may have found a permanent vacation home in Massachusetts’ picturesque Martha’s Vineyard.
The Obamas made their appreciation of the beachy island known while they were in the White House – spending seven out of eight summer vacations there.

The Globe also mentioned that “the Obamas have always rented ‘up island,’ including for a two week stay this summer.”
Among the pieces of land the Obamas are rumored to be eyeing is a waterfront parcel that once belonged to Jackie Kennedy Onassis.
The 377-acre property – called Red Gate Farm – has been subdivided into two parcels of land. The land overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and comes in at a hefty $15 million for a 75-acre parcel, according to Sotheby’s International Realty, and $12 million for a 40-acre patch. Neither of the lush plots come with houses, offering the former presidential family a blank slate for designing a future vacation home.

If the Obamas do decide to invest in property on the island, they will have some familiar faces around – former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have been known to frequent Martha’s Vineyard for vacations and celebrations.
