Former Patriots Coach Lists Beachfront Siasconset Home with Modern Upgrades and Timeless Charm
NANTUCKET — Legendary NFL coach Bill Belichick is parting ways with a piece of his Nantucket portfolio, listing a charming beachfront cottage at 3 North Gully Road for $3.895 million. Purchased by Belichick in 2014 for $2.45 million, the Siasconset property blends classic coastal allure with recent renovations, offering a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a slice of island serenity owned by a New England icon.
The two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom cottage, built in 1976, spans 1,500 square feet and boasts direct access to the sandy shores of Codfish Park. Nestled beside conservation land, the shingle-style home ensures privacy—a fitting retreat for the famously private coach. The listing, managed by Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Nantucket, highlights a vaulted living room with a stone fireplace, wooden walls, built-in bookshelves, and diamond-mullioned windows that evoke “old world charm” while incorporating modern upgrades like new heat pumps (2025), a new boiler (2020), and updated countertops.
Belichick’s connection to Nantucket runs deep. Since 1979, the former Patriots head coach, now leading the University of North Carolina’s football program, has owned multiple properties on the island. In a 2017 interview with Nantucket Magazine, he described the island as a “constant” in his life, praising its beaches, bike paths, and tight-knit community. This sale doesn’t signal a full exit from Nantucket, as Belichick retains other properties, including a $4.8 million Fair Street home purchased last year.
The Siasconset cottage’s appeal lies in its thoughtful design and prime location. A gourmet kitchen, a cozy banquette for dining, and a covered porch with drop-down windows create inviting spaces for entertaining or unwinding to the sound of crashing waves. The primary bedroom offers panoramic ocean views, while a loft with custom bunk beds adds a whimsical touch for guests or family. Recent renovations, including a redone bedroom off the porch and a barn door in the basement, ensure move-in readiness.
For Boston-area Patriots fans, owning Belichick’s former retreat offers a unique connection to the coach who led the team to six Super Bowl titles. The property’s $3.9 million price tag reflects Nantucket’s premium real estate market, where oceanfront homes are highly coveted. Comparable listings, like a $3.495 million home on Chester Street or a $4.695 million property on Orange Street, underscore the island’s enduring appeal for affluent buyers.
While Belichick’s departure from Foxborough has left a void in New England sports culture, his Nantucket cottage represents a tangible link to his legacy. As the island’s real estate market continues to draw high-profile buyers, this listing is poised to attract attention from those eager to claim a piece of both Nantucket’s charm and Belichick’s storied history.
