It’s been more than ten years since former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama purchased three acres of land in Hawaii. Now, it looks like their custom island dream home is ready for them to move in.
Swimming pools, lush greenery and a picture-perfect view of the beach make it an amazing place to relax. But this won’t be the first place the former First Family has called home. During Obama’s first term, a beachfront estate in Oahu was known as the Winter White House.

Because you could probably use a break from winter weather, take a peek at the Obama’s Hawaii homes.
The Former President’s Roots
Despite what President Donald Trump would like you to think, former President Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. He spent most of his life in the 51st state before heading off to college. Even during his time as President, it has been one of his favorite places to vacation with his family.
A Three-Acre Oasis
Now that they can spend more time out of the spotlight, the Obamas have set themselves up in a spacious Hawaiian retreat. According to TMZ, President and Mrs. Obama purchased a three-acre waterfront property on the island of Oahu to build their island oasis back in 2015 for over eight million dollars.
Ties to Television
Although the property is tucked away on a beach with plenty of privacy, it does have some ties to Hollywood. The area once included the home used in the 1980s Tom Selleck series “Magnum P.I.,” but the Obamas tore it down to make way for their new crib in 2018, according to TMZ.
The New
According to TMZ, the Obama’s new Hawaii compound includes a main house, two additional guest properties and two swimming pools.
Winter White House
Although we haven’t seen the inside of the new home, we can imagine it will be just as fabulous as this Oahu home, which was known as the Winter White House during President Obama’s term. The 7,000-square-foot home has five bedrooms, five-and-a-half bathrooms and a three-car garage.
A Peaceful Place
The view from the back of the home is peaceful, with plenty of greenery and a relaxing pond in the yard.
The Best of Both Worlds
The home is surrounded by a wraparound veranda, allowing you to take in the beautiful view – even on the rare occasion that the weather isn’t absolutely perfect.
Space to Entertain
A formal dining room opens up to a comfy living space that gives guests lots of options to hang.
Bright Open Kitchen
With counter space for days and new stainless steel appliances, this kitchen is made for cooking.
Taking Care of Busiess
President Obama came to the home to relax, but he also took care of business when he needed to. He signed the “James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act” here in January 2011, which provided health care to workers who suffered health issues due to clearing the debris after the Sept. 11, 2001 attack.
A View You Can Get Used To
A home like this has to have floor-to-ceiling windows. The oceanfront view in this place is too amazing to miss.
A View You Can Get Used To
It’s hard to deny how amazing this beachfront backyard is.
Master Suite
At the end of the day, the home’s master suite is in a private area, giving you all kinds of personal space.
Sitting Area
The other side of the master suite has a sitting area that is perfect for reading or watching television.
