Ever fancied your own private island? Now's your chance…and you don't even have to go far. A 104-acre island is up for grabs from Christie's International Real Estate. The property comes complete with a gorgeous four-bedroom home (no roughing it required), stunning ocean views, and your own little village (town troubadour not included). The whole shebang only costs $24,000,000…or the price of a luxury five-bedroom duplex apartment in Manhattan.
This is what three and a half miles of stunning shoreline looks like. Just imagine the sunset views...
The primary feature of the island is a Spanish-style villa that was originally built for inventor Charles Burgess. While it was constructed in the mid-1920s, the house has since been restored and updated with modern amenities. Phew.
One of the main reasons to own a private island? To impress your friends, of course! And luckily, the main house was made for entertaining.
While you still must get yourself from room to room, despite the luxury of owning your own island, the walk isn't half bad.
The views from the house (built specifically to get the most out of the paradisiacal vistas) are so beautiful, they look fake!
The property conforms to all of the stereotypes of an island paradise: Palm trees? Check. Unnaturally blue water? Check. Waterfalls feeding private springs? Check.
Can you say rustic and relaxing meets modern luxury?
On this island, you have the chance to keep the beauty to yourself or to share it with your friends and family. If all reason leaves you and you choose the latter, 29 waterfront lots are prepped and ready for the building to begin.
Only fancy cocktails are served in this room. Fine by us!
Some guests are known for overstaying their welcome. But it's not so annoying when you can give them their own three-bedroom guest wing with a private entrance.
Sign us up for being stranded on this stretch of pristine island beach!
This brings a whole new meaning to happy hour.
