Take a tour of the Obama estate in Martha’s Vineyard, where Michelle and Barack are enjoying retirement

In 2019, the Obamas found what many dream of — a peaceful slice of paradise tucked away on nearly 30 acres of lush coastal land.

After two terms in the White House and a life under the global spotlight, Barack and Michelle Obama chose to slow things down — buying an estate in Martha’s Vineyard, other than their Chicago home and their Washington DC home, which is their main residence.

In 2019, the Obamas found what many dream of — a peaceful slice of paradise tucked away on nearly 30 acres of lush coastal land. Located in the serene setting of Martha’s Vineyard, this 6,892-square-foot estate is anything but showy.

With seven bedrooms and over eight bathrooms, the house is large enough to host family, friends, or the occasional famous guest. But what really sets it apart is the mood: it’s relaxed, open, and airy. Walk into the grand foyer and you’re greeted by double-height ceilings, sunlight pouring in, and soft, white interiors that create an instant sense of calm.

Outside, the views are something else. Set right along Edgartown Great Pond, the ocean seems to stretch endlessly into the horizon. The large balcony is made for slow mornings and quiet sunsets, with just the sound of the waves as background music. It’s the kind of place where you can truly switch off.

The outdoor space is another highlight. A wide green lawn leads down to the shoreline, perfect for quiet walks, laid-back family moments, or a summer BBQ. There’s even an outdoor pool tucked near the kitchen — making mid-swim snack runs a breeze.

Inside, there are thoughtful details everywhere. Multiple stone fireplaces add warmth on cooler island nights. A sleek pool table brings a touch of fun. The kitchen is all-white and fully kitted out — both functional and beautiful. It’s easy to imagine Michelle preparing a healthy breakfast or Barack making coffee before heading out to the terrace with a book.

Their bedroom? Surprisingly understated. The Obamas chose a calm and simple master suite that’s all about comfort over flash — a reminder that even with their fame, they value peace and privacy above all.
