Billionaire summer resident Barry Sternlicht's beach house in Cisco is set to be demolished after severe erosion left him with no options but to tear down the three-bedroom home that sits between Hummock Pond and the Atlantic Ocean.

Unable to retreat any farther on the eroding property or move it to an entirely new location, Sternlicht filed for an emergency demolition permit earlier this month, which was unanimously approved by the Nantucket Historic District Commission on Tuesday.
"This house was scheduled to be moved about four years ago, then there was significant erosion, a storm that resulted in about 30-plus feet of erosion," Nantucket architect Matt MacEachern told the commission. MacEachern is the founder of the island-based firm Emeritus and represents Sternlicht.
"So the house has been on cribbing since that time. It also posed some challenges because we trying to find a new location for the house on the remaining portion of the lot but it did require utility access and easement access," he added. "But basically there were really no options because all the land was eroded. We have talked to a number of different companies to try move the structure and they told us it’s just not possible because of the location, so we’re before you today to ask for an emergency demolition."
