It might take a lot of liquid courage to buy a Greenwich estate linked to the Grey Goose vodka fortune.

John Frank, a former executive of the Sidney Frank Importing Company, listed his Connecticut property at 97 Pecksland Road for $33.8 million, Bloomberg reported. It was listed at the same price last year but was pulled from the market. Frank has moved to Florida, prompting the listing.

The previous owner subdivided the property into four lots. Frank used two as a buffer from the public and built a mansion on the other two, which run up against a golf course in the back. Paul Marchese, once the chief architect of the World Trade Center, designed the home.

Construction wrapped up in 2009, four years after Frank bought the land. The 19-acre property’s showstopper is the 18,000-square-foot mansion, built in an elevated Georgian style.

The mansion has seven bedrooms and a large pool house has three. Together they have 14 full bathrooms and five half-bathrooms. The home’s entrance opens to a double staircase. Inside is a dining room, library and entertainment room with a bar, among other rooms on the first floor.

The second floor is mostly bedrooms, while the top floor has a gym and playroom. The basement is a 30-car underground garage, where Frank stored his collection of classic cars.

On the grounds, there’s a massive pool (and the pool house) with a kiddy pool and hot tub. Walking trails are also built into the property.

Brown Harris Stevens’ Rob Johnson has the listing.

Frank’s uncle, Sidney, started the family business in 1973, securing the importing rights to Jagermeister the same year. In 1997, Sidney developed Grey Goose vodka, which the company sold to Bacardi in 2004 for nearly $3 billion.

Frank’s Greenwich listing is the second-most expensive in its zip code, according to Zillow, after a six-bedroom, 15,000-square-foot mansion at an undisclosed location. The asking price for the home, built on 27 acres in 2020, is $35 million.
