NEW YORK – One lucky winner will receive the keys to the HGTV Dream Home 2015. This year’s custom-built, fully furnished home resides 1 mile from the beach on Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., an island just off the coast of Cape Cod that is highlighted by historic landmarks, lighthouses, charming neighborhoods and pristine beaches.

Accessible only by boat or plane, the home is part of a grand prize package valued at more than $2 million, including the home with all the furnishing, a 2015 GMC Acadia Denali, and $250,000 provided by national mortgage lender Quicken Loans. The official entry period for the HGTV Dream Home 2015 Giveaway runs from Monday, December 29, 2014 through Tuesday, February 17, 2015.

It is designed by architect Patrick Ahearn in original Cape house style with cottage vernacular, taking ideas from historic structures of the area such as its white clapboard front and dark green shutters. The home also features two stove chimneys that replicate the Katama Plains “shacks” of the area and has six dormers, creating natural light throughout. The approximately 3,200-square-foot, three-bedroom, 3 ½-bath home is intimate in scale, but open and airy.

Viewers can see the design details and features of the home during the HGTV Dream Home 2015 Giveaway Special, premiering at 9 p.m. Jan. 1 on HGTV.

The winner also will receive a membership in the Field Club, featuring eight tennis courts, a lawn game area, outdoor heated pools, a spa, a fitness center and a casual restaurant with patio dining.
