Owned by the same family since the 1930s, Casa del Cielo (House of the Heavens), was named by the late Harriet Gregg, step great grandmother to the current owners, former U.S. Senator from New Hampshire, Judd Gregg and his brother, Cy Gregg. The Greggs have been a staple in New Hampshire politics for generations and the original beach property purchase consisted of 30 acres of untouched, pristine beachfront. Judd and Cy Gregg have been coming to this home since they were small children, enjoyed it with their own families and continued to enjoy it in their retirement.

Located on over an acre of prime beach-front, and over 120 feet of frontage on Siesta Key Beach, voted the #1 Beach in America by Dr. Beach in 2011, the three building compound consists of the main house, gatehouse and guest house. The main house and gatehouse were designed by Carl Abbott, an original practitioner of the Sarasota School of Architecture, who is known for adapting the Frank Lloyd Wright contemporary style to the tropics. The 1930’s beach cottage formerly belonging to a neighbor, was purchased by the Greggs and moved to the compound. With 4,520 square feet of living space, five bedrooms and five baths, all structures have commanding Gulf views, all on the sands of one of the world’s most beautiful beaches.

Casa del Cielo, contemporary compound on Siesta Beach, Sarasota, Florida, in the same famous family since the 1930s is now for sale. Priced at $5.999 million.
