Jackie O's daughter Caroline Kennedy is giving someone the opportunity to experience a slice of the family's unique, glamorous, and very closely-guarded life after putting her mother's sprawling Martha's Vineyard estate on the market for a staggering $65 million — four decades after the former first lady purchased it. The 340-acre property includes more than a mile of private Atlantic beachfront near Cape Cod, Massachusetts, as well as lush surrounding landscapes, all of which have been perfectly preserved by Kennedy and her family for the last 40 years. Onassis was first attracted to the oceanfront property in 1979,

Gee, If I had $40 million just laying around.....I'd buy something else entirely.
Looks nice but not my taste and the folks and government in that state are not people I would want to have
anything to do with.

Really is a gorgeous and peaceful piece of property.
Far away from the manufactured border crisis and the sidewalk excrement that many of us have to put up with.

All that property and only $65 million? Must be the taxes.
Which is also why they sold of so much of her mother's things after she died - to pay the massive taxes and let others pay them by selling things.

I suspect Caroline would sell her father's body and casket, if the offer was high enough.

That is great for her and her children. The children may even be tired already of hearing about the ''olden days.'' Once to every man and nation, comes the moment to decide. ''Sweet Caroline'' has decided.

I was thinking of submitting an offer but that diving board on the pool does not extend out far enough into the water. Very unsafe. Sorry, that's a deal breaker.

Caroline tore down her brother's favorite place - the silo - on the property. Shortly after his death. It served as his bedroom for the most part. He took his wife Carolyn out there often, when Marta and Effi were still with them. He inherited it more than did Caroline, and his percentage went to her upon his very untimely death, to be 20yrs in just weeks.
Think that a coincidence? What better time to put it on the market? Mother just had her 25th anniversary of being gone, Aunt Lee just died in February, Caroline's kids are grown and out the door. Maybe Caroline and Ed have to make it official and just divorce finally. Good time to put this up for sale while anniversaries of deaths are able to be used, less for divorce complications. Caroline turned out to be such a disappointment. John had drive, manners, and personality, charm....if he had just waited til morning to fly up to the Cape. I did not like the "transformation" of it Caroline tore into right after her brother's death - no reason to dismantle so much. If you ever get to see photos before and after....Jackie had the better taste, as did her original architect.

Gee, if Caroline were really a good little progressive open-borders leftist activist, she would donate the estate to house a few thousand illegals. What’s $65 million compared to helping the poor downtrodden invaders?

Jackie died in 1994....while she was enjoying the company of another woman's husband. It only took the darling daughter 25 years to decide to sell the property. What's the hurry?
It would be a great place for a sanctuary 'city.' I bet you could house over 5000 people there and still they would not be visible from the red gate.

It is a very nice property. What a contrast from such a peaceful setting as Caroline's "For Sale" property to the tragedies experienced by the Kennedy family.

Exactly #12, this should be given to the poor. There are 100 million people in central and south america and mexico that could be benefited by this $65 million, as opposed to just this food chomping greed monger and her entitled spawn.
Show that you are "good." Give everything away. Put your money where your twinkies usually are.

I'm not used to dealing with such large numbers but the little guy on my shoulder is screaming that $65 million is bird feed for a mile of Ocean Front out there. She must be going broke. The wise move would be to sell a piece of it.

I was thinking the same thing as #18. Dirt cheap.

I would have listed it at $650 million. So many people can pay that without batting an eye.

Running out of money is she? Too much high property taxes that she can't deduct? Were windmills going up in the ocean to ruin her view?
