Must SeeTop 10 Florida Condos For Sale

It’s hard to keep the former artists’ enclave of Coconut Grove, Florida a precious secret when events like this take place. Now for sale is the hideaway owned by the other Hugh Heftner of the 1960s: Baron Sepy Dobronyi. In fact, since the two became good friends in Havana before Castro came to power, it is thought by many that Hugh may well have modeled himself after Sepy, who was already leading the playboy lifestyle at the time of their meeting. It was Hugh, in fact, who told Sepy about this property. Not only were scenes from Deep Throat shot here, but so too were scenes from Frank Sinatra’s Tony Rome films and Lenny, Dustin Hoffman's Lenny Bruce film. Sepy was known for his Friday night bacchanals and the stream of stars coming and going such as Frank, who spent a lot of time in Miami in the sixties, and beauties such as Raquel Welch, Eva Gabor, Ava Gardner, Brigitte Bardot, Debbie Reynolds and Anita Eckberg. When his bronze sculpture of Anita Eckberg appeared in Playboy magazine, her husband was furious and punched Sepy out in public. Now some aspiring bon vivant has the opportunity to live the dream in Sepy’s socially historical glass jungle retreat.

Owning almost an acre of secluded jungle at the end of the private winding road of coveted Ye Little Wood is one of the most valuable assets in south Grove. With only one entrance-exit into the winding enclave almost hidden by bamboo and trees, it’s already quite private. Behind Sepy’s entrance gate is a marvel of jungle with the only clearing accommodating the pool. Down a slight grade is the dramatic glass house. Built on a base of concrete with coral rock and glass walls, it isn’t going anywhere unless one forces it. Of course it will need total kitchen and bathroom redos, but the bones are great and the ambiance yet sublime. Though his decorating taste deteriorated over the years, causing some distraction now, stripping it out, including the bookcase currently obscuring the focal point sunken seating area, will have it on its way to its former glory. One can also do what Sepy did back in the 60’s and have the bow of the viking boat bed protrude from the balcony for a dramatic effect. With 5,413sf of open airy living space, it has 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, a below ground wine cellar and guest house down a winding jungle path with small kitchen and bath.
