Behind the Build: HGTV Dream Home 2015

The HGTV Dream Home 2015 is located on the island of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts and is the most stunning home we've ever given away. Alongside Matt Muenster, experience every jaw-dropping moment of building this beautiful home from groundbreaking to completion. In what would normally take a year, this home was built in just five months...an amazing feat under normal building conditions, but this island home had unique challenges, such as unpredictable island weather, not to mention the fact that all materials used on the home had to travel to the island by plane or boat. This authentic cape-cod style home is all about the details - from floor to ceiling bead board to cathedral ceilings adorned with antique beams. Don't miss a minute of this action-packed build!
