Explore Jackie O’s Mansion In Martha’s Vineyard Hit The Market With A Listing Price Of $65 Million

Two and a half decades after the death of one of America’s most beloved first ladies, her former home in Martha’s Vineyard was listed for $65 million. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’ luxurious estate sits on an island near Cape Cod. It’s a tourist attraction known for its affluence as many wealthy New Englanders have vacationed there for centuries. Jackie was one of the few year-rounders on the island, which is primarily a summer vacation spot. The incredible space includes 340 acres of land and 6,456 square feet of living space. Let’s take a look around the estate and explore some interesting facts about the land it inhabits.

Welcome To Red Gate Farm

The impressive home is so giant that it has its own name. The 340-acre land is called Red Gate Farm, though it certainly is far from traditional farmland. However, the place had previously been a sheep farm.

The house was designed by famous architect Hugh Newell Jacobson in 1981, along with a two-story guest house. Prior to these additions, the only living space on the property was a small hunting cabin. Jackie’s daughter, Caroline Kennedy, hired the dean of Yale’s School of Architecture to redesign and expand the main home in 2000.
