Jackie Kennedy Onassis Vineyard Home Just Hit the Market [PHOTOS]

The iconic Vineyard home sits on a 340-acre sanctuary at the edge of Squibnocket Pond, complete with over a mile of Atlantic Ocean beachfront.

The first question I asked after hearing about Jackie O's Vineyard home going on the market was, what about her kids and grandkids, why would they be selling this family home full of memories?  I mean, I am sure they all have a million choices of where to go and what to do.  I'm thinking that money is no issue for any of them.  But this particular home, has so much history, so much of their mother in it... How could they be selling it?

The 6,456-square-foot cedar-shingled main residence was created for entertaining, for gatherings grand or intimate. All rooms except the dining room overlook the Atlantic Ocean. The main level is appointed with a formal sitting room with fireplace, drawing room, living room, family room, library, dining room, and an expansive chef's kitchen equipped with professional-grade appliances. Two decks, the perfect space for quiet contemplation or alfresco entertaining, face the sand dunes and the sea.
