And there is a stable democracy, which makes buying here even more appealing.”]]></description>

A major player in the Bahamas private island scene since 1992, Kevin Cross is one of the top island brokers in the world.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/buying-bahamas/bahamas2.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic718" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/718__650x1000_bahamas2.jpg" alt="bahamas2.jpg" title="bahamas2.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Why buy? “The Bahamas have the best beaches on earth,” declares Kevin. “What also makes us stand out from a lot of other places is that we’re just a stone’s throw from the U.S. There are direct flights to Nassau, which makes it easy for people from Europe to get here. And there is a stable democracy, which makes buying here even more appealing.”</p>
<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/buying-bahamas/bahamas3.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic717" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/717__650x1000_bahamas3.jpg" alt="bahamas3.jpg" title="bahamas3.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>How to buy? With only between 20 and 25 private island properties on the market at any time, potential buyers need to work with the right broker to find the right island. Kevin says, “A lot of people don’t know the Bahamas; I try to give them answers, details, maps—the best picture they can get without actually being here—something to visualize. When I’ve answered enough questions the client usually comes down. So about once a month I charter a seaplane or helicopter and take a client to view properties. It’s difficult to call it work when you’re in a seaplane in shorts, landing on a beach, but it is still work.” </p>
<p>“Buying in the Bahamas is straightforward,” the Bahamas-born broker says. “It takes a bit more time when you buy property over a certain size. The government has to investigate that a buyer is a ‘desirable person.’” Foreign Investment Board reviews take between two and eight months, depending on the size of the development.</p>
<p>He adds, “People don’t always realize how much an island costs to upkeep. I tell them as it is; there’s a lot of work and a lot of money involved in private island ownership. One of my clients spends one million a year to operate their island compared to the $100,000 a non-island property would cost them. I offer insight into the ins and outs of island ownership if someone hasn’t owned a private island before, and advice on how to avoid the pitfalls. It’s a very specialized type of lifestyle. I advise on whom to contact for what and the best way to get materials to the island when constructing. My knowledge of the Bahamas, and its specific regions, is as detailed as the nature and personalities of the people in certain areas. I walk buyers through the whole process and am a resource to them after they have bought. ”</p>
<p>Who buys? Although the market is very much affected by the strength of world currencies, Cross’ clients are predominantly American. “I seem to be getting more Europeans these days,” says Cross. “I’ve yet to have Japanese or Chinese clients. A couple of Russian oligarchs have shown interest in Bahamas. The market is changing a bit. It used to be that private island interest was from very wealthy families. More recently, because so many more celebrities are buying, developers are now eyeing private islands. Everything slowed the past year, but the Agha Khan just bought property in the Exumas. There are a lot of celebrities nosing around right now, although none have bought recently.”</p>
<p>And is it a good time to buy in the Bahamas? “Yes,” says Kevin, “For some properties.” He estimates that up to 10% of properties on the market have been “fire sales.”</p>
<p><strong>Hot properties.</strong><br />
The 167-acre Children’s Bay Cay ($60,000,000 for all 167 acres or a pre-development price of $650,000 per acre), just north of Great Exuma, is offered as one property or sub-divided into 14 beachfront or pristine waterfront parcels with lots ranging from 5.5 to 16 acres. Plans, if desired, are available. A full-time concierge and maintenance service will be available to secure the property and attend to owners’ needs. Children’s Bay Cay has been approved under the Hotel Encouragement Act and offers many tax benefits to lot owners, including savings on duty free construction materials and long-term property tax relief. Long a haven of the rich and famous, the Exumas offer some of the Bahamas’ most spectacular real estate.<br />
With an international reputation as a fishing destination, Walker’s Cay ($26,000,000) already boasts a fishing resort on the 58-acre island. Sitting, unused, since suffering hurricane damage, plans are in place for a grander, more upscale development. With an already established name and reputation, an airstrip, and a fantastic marina, Walker Cay has vast potential.</p>
<p>A crown leasehold property in the Abacos, Little Hog Cay ($1,950,000) is a 20-plus-acre island in the North Bahamas, just a mile from mainland Abaco. The island boasts a 1000-foot-wide, mangrove-rich lagoon, two magnificent beaches, a studio home, and beachfront guest cabana. Offering the only completely protected deepwater dockage in North Abaco and a slew of permissions in place that often otherwise take years to approve, Little Hog Cay is an angler’s paradise situated between the area’s four best sportfishing destinations (Walker’s Cay, Green Turtle Cay, Treasure Cay, and Marsh Harbour.) A full-service marina and airstrip is just fifteen minutes by boat. </p>
<p>Great Whale Cay ($80,000,000), an 850-acre, whale-shaped gem in the Berry Islands with dramatic cliffs and above sea level heights of up to 60 feet, offers the convenience of a 4000-foot paved runway and some of the Bahamas’ best beaches. The perfect cay for diving and sportfishing fans, Great Whale Cay—formerly owned by heiress Joe Carstairs— is one of the closest islands to mainland U.S.A. It sits just 150 miles east of Fort Lauderdale. Crying out for development, the cay boasts 850 acres of incredible beaches, deep water, and coral reefs. Fly-fishing, big name fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, and hiking are all obvious attractions. Extensive development plans and permissions are already in place, including for an airstrip, marina, marina village, inn, parks, restaurants, swimming pools, spa villas, and 155 individual homes.</p>
<p>For first-time private island buyers, Kevin points out “Goat Cay is not so exciting to look at, but is a good price and great location.” The 22-acre cay is “a nice size for a private island, right next to Great Harbour Cay and close to Florida.” Goat Cay is a five-minute boat ride from the stores and international airport at Great Harbour Cay where Jack Nicklaus used to bring his yacht and play golf until a legal dispute closed the fairways. With legal matters seemingly close to a resolution, prices could soar, making this $1,200,000 island a potentially valuable property. </p>
<p>Just 130 nautical miles from Florida’s Palm Beach, 30-acre Moraine Cay ($2,750,000) is one of the most incredible spots in the Abacos. </p>
<p>Only nine miles northeast of Foxtown, Little Abaco, the secluded, tropical isle is one of the closest Abaco destinations to the U.S. Rising to an elevation of 24-feet above sea level and offering back-to-back crescent beaches, Moraine’s three villas (currently at varying levels of completion) enjoy pleasant breezes at all times. The island also offers a dock, boulder breakwater, and utility shed. Extensive reefs nestle just offshore and ocean sportfishing (monster grouper, yellow fin tuna, dolphin, and wahoo) is magnificent. Closer to shore, fishing enthusiasts can find an abundance of lobster, conch, snapper, stone crabs, and hogfish in the crystal clear waters.</p>

One of the 1800 islands that dot the majestic St. Lawrence Seaway, yet one of only an elite handful of islands available to rent in the area, Watch Island nestles in a peaceful bay with views of ships, sunsets, Thousand Island Bridge, and the venerable Rock Island Lighthouse spread before it. Situated between Clayton and Alexandria Bay, this upscale, upstate New York rental offers an impeccably restored, 6,500 square foot Victorian mansion to the discerning family seeking an elegant vacation home.</p>

<p>The house contains gracious living quarters that include an antique-filled living room with fireplace – ideal for family gatherings after a long day’s exploring. The turn-of-the-century house also boasts a country kitchen, impressively equipped pantry, four furnished porches, and a grand dining room that seats up to 16. The dining room’s 12 generous windows offer ever-changing views of the seaway and sunsets. Ten bedrooms sleep a maximum of 20 people.

<p>Spend lazy days on-island curled up in a nook or catching up with current events by satellite, cable, or online. Grill the day’s catch on the outdoor grill or barbecue. Paddle the periphery of the island in the property’s canoe or pedal past quaint, century-old gingerbread houses and grand, old hotels onshore on one of the island’s two bicycles. While away long summer evenings in the screened porch watching river life pass by and lights begin to glow on shore.</p>

<p>With its proximity to Alexandria Bay and the inland ponds and rivers of Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties, the 1.3-acre island is perfect for an activity-packed family vacation. Kayaking is possible between islands, and the waters of Alexandria Bay offer excellent wreck diving. Float fishing excursions for bass, pike, muskie, and walleye make memorable family bonding experiences. In winter, snow kite skiing and snowmobiling are merely two of the exhilarating outdoor options on offer nearby.</p>

<p>Historic Clayton, New York, once the northern terminus of the New York Central Railway, is now very much the cultural center of the Thousand Islands area.

Other options awaiting onshore range from antiquing, cycling, sailing, and golf to fishing, horseback riding, and big game and upland bird hunting. </p>

<p>With 26 miles of winding shoreline and a surface area of 1500 acres, the lake is a paradise for boaters, fishing enthusiasts, kayakers, and water-skiers. The lake offers an abundance of trout, walleye, bass, and catfish. Five main tributaries and a bevy of springs and creeks feed the popular recreational lake and the safe, clean Ralph J. Andrews County Park—the lakeshore’s 79-acre recreational facility—offers hiking, picnic spots, and camping. Even more hiking opportunities await on trails that wind through the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains. The village of Cashiers and town of Highlands offer galleries, restaurants, and stores, as well as construction specialists and landscape companies. The towns are within 2.5 hours drive of Atlanta. Asheville is just over an hour away. An area of temperate rainforest, the Plateau’s 70-90 inches annual rainfall and high altitude is responsible for a wonderful wealth of plant life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Luxury Living on Australia’s Premier Island Destination </strong></em><a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/mag-adverts/hayman.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic680" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/680__650x1000_hayman.jpg" alt="hayman.jpg" title="hayman.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Set amid the magnificent Great Barrier Reef, Hayman is Australia’s premier private island destination. Rising from turquoise tropical waters, with a sweeping view out to the Coral Sea, the forested hills of this epic island rest atop a bed of ancient coral – part of one of the natural wonders of the world. Surrounded by sparkling beaches fringed in coral and covered in lush tropical grounds, the iconic 5-star resort has been offering the world uniquely luxurious experiences for almost 60 years – it’s no wonder that many guests have longed to have a piece of Hayman’s paradise for their own. </p>
<p>For the first time, that dream can now be a reality – designed by renowned architect Kerry Hill, private residences are now being offered in secluded enclaves of the island. Spectacular luxury homes will be set against Hayman’s richly forested hillside, affording broad views of the magnificent Whitsunday Passage – or for a closer view of the crystal-clear surrounding waters, located by an impressive marina with a superyacht mooring facility. With a significant portfolio that includes Asia’s famed Amanresorts, Kerry Hill is uniquely suited to designing these luxurious, modern spaces for enjoying Hayman, and will individually create each residence to harmoniously fit within the island’s beautiful natural environment.</p>
<p>Owning a residence on Hayman means a private, personal place to experience the island lifestyle – with the incredible amenities and services of its resort at your doorstep. Residents can relax in the pampering Spa Hayman – accredited as a Leading Spa – and feel rejuvenated with a Hayman Signature Experience like the Ocean Massage – performed on the island’s shores, you’ll receive your expert massage suspended just above the waters that gently lap at the sands of breathtaking Hayman Beach. </p>
<p>Imagine the luxury and convenience of the lifestyle offered on Hayman – awakening in the morning to a spectacular sunrise viewed from your private deck, enjoying the renowned buffet breakfast at Azure, and a languid lunch at The Beach Pavilion or The Pool Bar after a refreshing afternoon swim. </p>
<p>For your evenings on Hayman, there are superb restaurants that come alive at night – including the chic and modern Azure, which puts a singularly Australian spin on fresh seafood, and La Trattoria, with authentic Italian and Mediterranean cuisine in a rustic al fresco setting. In the exquisite Oriental, you’ll find extraordinary Asian dishes offered in an environment of gorgeous gardens and peaceful waterfalls, while beautiful La Fontaine presents modern European cuisine in a setting of Louis XVI furnishings, Waterford crystal chandeliers and a central limestone fountain.</p>
<p>For another unique Hayman Signature Experience, you can discover The Chef’s Table, where you’ll be given a behind-the-scenes dinner in the resort’s Main Kitchen, and experience new creations of skilled Hayman and celebrity chefs, together with expert wine pairings from the approximately 20,000 bottle cellar.</p>
<p>Hayman Managing Director Lloyd Donaldson described the new exclusive residences as an important step forward in the evolution of this celebrated resort. </p>
<p>“Hayman owning company Mulpha Australia Limited has redefined the concept of luxury living with the release of new Hayman Private Residences, and now Hayman Marina Residences, both with prime positioning on one of the world’s most celebrated private islands. After 10 years at the helm of Hayman I remain proudly committed to strengthening the depth and integrity that has been synonymous with the Hayman name and experience for almost 60 years. I am delighted to present this unique opportunity to own part of an acclaimed Australian address.” </p>

<p>The advent of civilization usually disturbs the allure and simplicity of paradise. To procure ultimate luxury there usually has to be sacrifice. It is a rare occasion when an untouched island sanctuary in becomes available as an idyllic getaway and unique investment opportunity. Such is the pleasure of Desroches… paradise found.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/desroches/desroches-view.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic667" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/667_watermark_650x1000_desroches-view.jpg" alt="desroches-view.jpg" title="desroches-view.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Located close to the Seychelles capital Mahé, Desroches Island is part of the Amirantes Archipelago - some of the most pristine islands in the world. Villa ownership here provides access to activities and facilities unmatched on a tropical island - from an exclusive, luxury 20 suite island hotel, exotic restaurants, dive and fishing centre, spa and gym, children’s edu-centre and business centre, to over 13km of unspoilt beaches and virgin forest.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/desroches/desroches-spa-treatments.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic668" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/668_watermark_650x1000_desroches-spa-treatments.jpg" alt="desroches-spa-treatments.jpg" title="desroches-spa-treatments.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Villas are fully furnished in impeccable style and equipped with every amenity, including bicycles and kayaks for personal exploration of this paradise. Private swimming pools, central entertainment areas and extensive outdoor decks equipped with luxurious loungers allow you to while away slow-moving time. A full service is provided by the hotel to both guest and Villa owner. The low density and versatile modular design provides rental opportunities which make the Villas sought after as investment units as well as the idyllic holiday home.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/desroches/desroches-fly-fishing.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic670" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/670_watermark_650x1000_desroches-fly-fishing.jpg" alt="desroches-fly-fishing.jpg" title="desroches-fly-fishing.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Blessed with one of the healthiest climates in the world, the balmy days and sultry island nights will lull you into the possibility of an endless summer. Activities are virtually infinite: nature trails alongside ancient tortoise colonies, nesting turtles on uninhabited beaches, and an array of marine life unmatched in diversity and splendor to explore. Ocean-based activities that will keep you enthralled include scuba diving; deep-sea diving; guided snorkeling trips; big game fishing; sea fly-fishing; to sun-filled hours of kayaking and windsurfing. </p>

There are few places in the world that can only be described as pure luxury – welcome to Buck Island, one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful private island estates. As part of the gorgeous British Virgin Islands, this 43-acre isle encircled by sparkling beaches rests in the calm waters of the Sir Frances Drake Channel, which has long been a renowned area for lovers of boating and fishing. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/buck/11.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic655" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/655_watermark_650x1000_11.jpg" alt="11.jpg" title="11.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Indeed, the BVI has few competitors when it comes to water activities of any kind – gentle trade winds and peaceful waters have made it one of the world’s premier sailing destinations, and unlike in many parts of the Caribbean, sailors can island-hop without worries of constantly having to clear Customs. And breathtaking scenery like its high, emerald green hillsides, unusual rock formations like at Virgin Gorda, and miles of powder sand beaches all provide the perfect environment to enjoy them in.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/buck/12.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic654" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/654_watermark_650x1000_12.jpg" alt="12.jpg" title="12.jpg" /></a> </p>
<p>With its own marina, Buck Island is a perfect example of the BVI’s elegant, yet sporty charms - completed in 2006, the estate’s spectacular modern villa perches atop the island’s southern cliff, affording 360 degree views of the surrounding seas and neighbouring islands. And giving an almost surreal panorama of the Channel, a gorgeous infinity pool has been constructed at one of the island’s highest vantage points.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/buck/02.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic664" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/664_watermark_650x1000_02.jpg" alt="02.jpg" title="02.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Conveniently accessible from the country’s main airport on Beef Island, the sale of Buck Island also includes a 1.37-acre piece of land on the mainland of Tortola, which hosts a simple two-bedroom house and gatehouse. Perfect for days when you may want to return to the mainland for a taste of civilization – such as an afternoon exploring the caves and underwater treasures you’ll discover at nearby Virgin Gorda, followed by a late night out enjoying the fine dining in Road Town, the country’s vibrant capital.     </p>
<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/buck/05.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic661" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/661_watermark_650x1000_05.jpg" alt="05.jpg" title="05.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Listed by Edward Childs of BVI brokerage firm Smiths Gore Ltd., Buck Island is available for purchase for US $50M. And while owning this incomparable estate may not be within reach for everyone, the island can also be experienced as a rental – exclusive use of the island is available on a weekly basis, and includes use of the villa, clubhouse, marina, and a full set of pampering staff, and will easily accommodates 16 or more guests for a vacation of a lifetime.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/schloss/7.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic642" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/642_watermark_650x1000_7.jpg" alt="7.jpg" title="7.jpg" /></a><br />
On the wild and epic west coast of British Columbia’s beautiful Vancouver Island, it’s a rare thing to find a private island available for purchase. Perhaps the only such property currently on the market, Schloss Island is a spectacular large island found sheltered within Quatsino Sound, only seven miles<br />
from the Pacifi c Ocean and close to the village of Winter Harbour. Just a 1000 yards from a boat dock on shore and accessible by helicopter, float plane and byboat, this piece of BC paradise feels a million miles from civilization, but is in reality, highly accessible and convenient to amenities.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/schloss/3.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic646" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/646_watermark_650x1000_3.jpg" alt="3.jpg" title="3.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Schloss Island is protected from harsh winds within Koprino Harbour, and has low, sloping banks and beaches that are ideal for boat or plane ramps. Its 82 acres are covered in a rich forest fi lled with hemlock trees, many of which are over a century old, and one currently hosts a nest of eagles that at times, one can see circling above the island. Two freshwater springs provide ample drinking water, safe and clean – the island’s environment is a pure and untouched part of BC wilderness. Dinner will never be a problem - offshore, you’ll fi nd incredible fi shing for salmon, halibut and tuna, and when the tides sweep out to expose broad beaches, there is prawning and clam digging.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/schloss/2.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic647" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/647_watermark_650x1000_2.jpg" alt="2.jpg" title="2.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>There are a variety of possibilities for Schloss Island’s use and development, each taking advantage of its unique location and abundant nature. Already zoned A-1 subdividable, the island can be parcelled into individual plots for the construction of individual residences – with more than 80 acres, the island could host numerous subdivisions while retaining a secluded and private feel for each resident. Kept as a private holiday retreat, it would be an incredible luxury and very convenient for residents of Vancouver or Seattle. The excellent fi shing and scenic environment would also lend itself well to development as a fi shing lodge or rustic eco-resort. The island is also covered in 21,000 metres of marketable timber.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/maldives-for-sale/3.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic638" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/638__650x1000_3.jpg" alt="3.jpg" title="3.jpg" /></a><br />
The waters of the Indian Ocean are crystal clear, stretching out to the horizon in an almost impossible shade of blue – few islands dot this vast expanse, but just south west of Sri Lanka, you’ll discover a stunningly beautiful archipelago – and the most exclusive location for private island resorts in the world. Welcome to the Republic of the Maldives, a group of 26 coral atolls hosting almost 1200 sand-dusted islands and islets. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/maldives-for-sale/1.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic640" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/640__650x1000_1.jpg" alt="1.jpg" title="1.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>It’s a truly extraordinary place – the feeling of being at the edge of the earth is almost palpable in this low-lying paradise, with nothing to break the view of spectacular sunrises and sunsets against the horizon. People come to the Maldives to escape – and experience the truest tropical luxury in its famous resorts. Renowned across the globe and favoured by celebrities like Tom Cruise, Madonna and British royalty, virtually every major resort brand offers their own private island hideaway in this secluded chain. Does yours?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/maldives-for-sale/4.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic637" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/637__650x1000_4.jpg" alt="4.jpg" title="4.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>There is a reason that the Maldives has remained such an exclusive sphere, dominated by major brand players like Conrad Hilton, Starwood and Universal. These properties –available only on the basis of long-term leases – are very unusual to find in the international real estate industry, and competition is fierce for entry into this lucrative high-end travel market. However, one such opportunity has just become available, on a stunning crescent-shaped 40-acre island, already hosting a 5-star resort with development already well under way.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/maldives-for-sale/2.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic639" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/639__650x1000_2.jpg" alt="2.jpg" title="2.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Kan’baalifaru Island, found in the country’s pristine northern Shaviyani Atoll, will no doubt become one of the Maldives’ premier travel destinations. This highly sought-after property has recently entered the market on the basis of a 35-year lease and a below market price of US $18,000,000, and offers one of the few opportunities for breaking into this exceptional tourism economy.

The sandy beaches and waving palms of Florida are often considered the paradise of the United States mainland - but just a little further north, a warm and sunny haven offers another unforgettable experience of America’s coastal charms. The Intracoastal Waterway is a 3,000-mile body of water that meanders along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, varying from saltwater rivers, scenic inlets and man-made canals – and arguably the most picturesque stretch sweeps out onto the banks of North Carolina, where long, beautiful beaches border the Atlantic Ocean.</p>
<p>Monk’s Island sits right here, in the middle of this incredible environment of unspoiled nature, clear ocean waters, and upscale waterfront communities. Found in the Intracoastal Waterway between Ocean Isle Beach and Holden Beach, just east of the charming town of Shallotte, Monk’s Island is 30 gorgeous acres overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Within a 40-minute drive of each of the bustling NC cities of Wilmington and Myrtle Beach, Shallotte is a peaceful and upmarket town with readily available shopping, dining and amenities.  </p>
<p>Perfectly situated to take advantage of both mainland amenities and a plethora of activities like fishing, shrimping, sailing and kayaking, the island is easy to access with a secure 10-space parking area in a nearby gated community, 5 mainland boat slips, 5 boat docks with lifts on the island itself, and a salt water marsh boat docking for fishing or recreational boats. And for the extremely busy individual, the island even offers a helicopter landing pad. </p>
<p>When it comes to creating a dream personal retreat for oneself, or constructing a set of unique residences for resale, Monk’s Island has all of the potential one could hope for – and many of the most challenging aspects of development have already been taken care of. Complete utilities are in place, including water, septic, electricity, cable television and phone service. The island is in ready-to-build condition, and is prime for division into 5 separate home sites. And the neighbourhood couldn’t be more ideal – across the marsh dividing the island from the mainland, you’ll find elegant developments of multi-million dollar homes. </p>
<p>Offered at US $2,495,000, the possibilities are endless for Monk’s Island. Enjoying mild year-round temperatures, blissfully hot summer weather and pretty scenery, the banks of North Carolina are home to a thriving tourism industry and a booming market in seasonal homes. Whether you’re seeking to create your perfect second home or an exclusive development project, explore what Monk’s Island has to offer. For more information or to inquire, please contact:   </p>

<p>A secluded chain of 1700 islands stretching from cosmopolitan Miami down to colourful Key West, the Florida Keys are the notable exception to America’s image as a place for rustic cottage islands. With a laid-back culture and a feeling of pleasant isolation from the mainland, the Keys have long exerted a gravitational pull on artists, writers and other eccentrics seeking to escape from the urban world… and more than a few unsavoury types on the run. Cemented in the public imagination as an underworld haven by Noir films like John Huston’s 1949 “Key Largo”, and a storied history as a hideout for pirates and smugglers, this slightly shady reputation seems to have only added to the islands’ romantic allure.  And while the Keys may have undergone some gentrification over the past decades, the 1980’s move by the mayor of Key West to secede as the “Conch Republic” speaks volumes about the sleepy chain&#8217;s still-independent character. </p>

<p>Our tour of the Keys starts just south of Miami in Biscayne Bay, with one of the swankiest private islands to hit the American market. This long lagoon is home to several highly exclusive communities where you’ll find the homes of celebrities and some of Miami’s top executives, and manages to retain a natural feel even with the metropolitan skyline in the distance. Our first island’s name of Ragged Key may sound a little rustic, but the ultra-modern residence is surrounded by manicured grounds and comes with guesthouses, a pool, and just enough untouched land to add a little sense of wilderness. This 8-acre property is offered at US $5M, and for those who crave even more opulence or want to make a permanent move to the Miami area, an option to purchase the island together with a luxurious nearby mainland estate is available. </p>

<p>The town of Duck Key is the next stop down the archipelago, with a rare opportunity to purchase two twin islands near this upscale community. Surrounded by excellent diving and close to all amenities, Tom’s Harbor Keys are prime for development into a resort or residential complex. Located right by multi-million dollar mainland homes, they total 46 acres and are offered at a very reasonable US $2.9M. Heading south towards the tip of the chain is the sleepy town of Summerland Key, an area that sees a fair amount of private island activity. Listed at US $4.5M, the 9-acre Howell Key is a rare larger property that currently offers adventure camping to guests, and could be further commercially developed or kept for personal use. Also close to Summerland is the celebrity-owned Melody Key, a relaxed and modern island retreat with a price that’s just been reduced to a highly attractive US $4.9M.  </p>

<p>One of the biggest towns in the Keys, the city of Marathon is spread over a number of individual islands, and prides itself on having a perfect combination of history, nature and sophistication. Here you’ll long sandy beaches, incredible fishing and the famous Seven Mile Bridge, which stretches across the ocean and is considered by many to be one of the most picturesque drives in the world. The little 1.7 acre Fanny Key is only private island found for sale in the Marathon area, and you can enjoy its beautifully designed home and sunset views for $8M. Concluding our tour, at the tail end of the Keys is an incomparable estate and one of the few private islands found in the pristine Key West Wildlife Refuge. With 26 acres of white sand beaches and tropical forests, the $13.8M Ballast Key has provided a relaxing retreat for cultural luminaries like Tennessee Williams and Truman Capote. A short distance from the city of Key West, the island is also the southernmost inhabited point of the continental USA. Continue any further and you’ll only find little barren islets, and after a few hundred empty miles, eventually reach Cuba.</p>

<p>From Miami’s Biscayne Bay to the most remote reaches of the American continent, each of these islands offers a special kind of luxury, and an opportunity to create a new lifestyle within the vivid culture and natural beauty of the Keys. While their price point may be slightly higher than that of properties found in the lakes and rugged coasts of the northern states, Florida’s private islands are exceptionally well-priced when compared to the tropical isles for sale in the Caribbean, and have the added advantage of American property laws and ease of development. And unlike more exotic areas of the world, a majority of the islands on the market in the Keys are close to abundant shopping and fine dining, come in a finished state with a modern home ready to be enjoyed, and are easily accessed through numerous regional airports. Perfect for those who crave independence without the challenges of being truly remote, your piece of the Keys may not be your own Conch Republic, but will feel just close enough.  </p>

Dotted with small lakes and charming towns, the Monadnock region of Southern New Hampshire is one of the region’s top spots for that favourite of summer activities – cottaging. Surrounded by woodlands and wildlife yet with many small towns and amenities, this picturesque New England area offers it all. And in one of its pure little lakes, you’ll find a summer retreat like no other. Set on 2.5 heavily wooded acres, the Isle of Mews (a reference to the owners’ pet felines) is a fully-developed private isle ready and waiting to be enjoyed. </p>
<p>A beautiful ivory home in a classic Saltbox Colonial style, the acorn post-and-beam residence on the Isle of Mews has a spacious, bright floor plan, three bedrooms and 2.5 baths, utilities from the mainland, and large windows offering stunning nature views in every direction. But for truly enjoying the beauty New England has to offer, there is no better place than the little gazebo at the water’s edge, an ideal setting for nature watching, viewing the incredible sunsets over the water, or just contemplating the gentle undulations of the lake. A retreat with endless possibilities at any time of year, even in winter months one can snowshoe, ice fish and snowmobile on the lake’s frozen surface, and the island is accessible by foot.   </p>
<p>However, the Isle of Mews wasn’t actually always an isle – its first incarnation was as a small, forested hilltop set in the middle of a farm. During the 1950s, the Army Corps of Engineers initiated a project to transform a number of small ponds into one large recreational lake, leaving just a few islands above the water. No doubt residents wound up happy with the project – the resulting Lake Monomonac is one of the region’s top spots for fishing, swimming, boating and all kinds of summer activities – all within less than a 4 hour’s drive to Manhattan. </p>
<p>Ready to pass the island to the next owners, the island’s current owners say that “the Isle of Mews has been a wondrous place for us. We hope a new owner respects and enjoys the beautiful natural surroundings as much as we have.” And this beautiful piece of New England’s cottage country can be yours for just US $695K – please see <a href="http://www.privateislandsonline.com/isleofmews.htm">http://www.privateislandsonline.com/isleofmews.htm</a> for more details.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/yadua/yadua1.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic634" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/634__650x1000_yadua1.jpg" alt="yadua1.jpg" title="yadua1.jpg" /></a><br />
What comes to mind when you think of Fiji? An exaltation of colourful exotic birds, and twisting vines dripping with large, fragrant flowers. Romantic, candlelit dinners against a backdrop of mountain peaks and brilliant ocean sunsets. Smiling, friendly locals greeting you every way you turn with a melodious “Bula”. And of course, some of the world’s most beautiful tropical islands, many home to luxurious resorts favoured by royalty – Hollywood and otherwise. Make an offer, and one of them could one of them be yours.</p>
<p>Serious offers are now being accepted under a Deadline Private Treaty until July 10th on the 27-acre Yadua Island, a perfect green jewel set against deep blue Koro Sea. Part of Fiji’s renowned Mamanuca Group, Yadua is centrally located and ideal for resort development, and this exciting proposal means that the island could sell for significantly less than estimated value. Also undoubtedly the South Pacific’s strongest tourism economy, real estate investment in Fiji has historically been some of the most profitable in the region, and continues to thrive even in the global economic downturn. </p>
<p>Uninhabited, untouched, and with just the hint of neighbouring isles on the horizon - it’s hard to imagine that this remote-seeming island is just a 10 minute flight from the capital of Fiji, the charming city of Nadi. There you’ll find an international airport and all amenities, making your tropical isle just a little more hospitable than Robinson Crusoe’s. But with its majestic hillside covered in rich green forests, and a sparkling white beach gazing out on to clear lagoon waters, there is no question you’ll feel a world apart from the pressures of civilization. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/yadua/yadua2.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic633" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/633__650x1000_yadua2.jpg" alt="yadua2.jpg" title="yadua2.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Within just a 20-minute boat ride, you’ll find a wide variety of restaurants and attractions on the surrounding isles, like the popular Castaway, Plantation and Mana Islands.  Some of the world’s premier diving and surfing sites can also be found within minutes, which is just one of the reasons why Yadua is so ideal for tourism development. Plans for a luxurious resort with a complex of holiday villas, created by an expert architect, are available to purchasers who want to take advantage of Fiji’s booming tourism industry.  </p>
<p>If pursued, the incredible proposal for Yadua’s development will be a stand-out among Fijian island resorts, with an eco-friendly sensibility that makes full use of the island’s stunning topography. An airy, Balinese-style central core would lead into winding pathways connecting to 10 chic ‘bures’, or casual island-style residences. Each bure would have a private, secluded feel, while providing gorgeous sea views. The project would also include a marina, areas for watersports, pathways throughout the island’s forests, and most strikingly, a man-made lagoon in the hollow of the island’s ancient volcanic crater.   </p>
<p>Of course, Yadua is also a perfect size for personal use, and if you choose, the island could be yours alone, home to just a luxury residence hidden on its sweeping cliff sides. Opportunities for investment in Yadua are available both as an entire purchase, or a 50% share of the New Zealand company that owns the island. The future of Fijian tourism shines brightly, and whether your ambition is the creation of Fiji’s newest celebrity resort or just an island paradise to call your own, Yadua is a rare opportunity for a limited time only. </p>

Featured here are a selection of &#8220;close to home&#8221; private islands currently available for sale between US $1M and $8M. North America is by far the largest private island market in the world and offers hundreds of islands for sale in many different price ranges, so it&#8217;s no surprise that enterprising Americans are the largest group of island buyers.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/eagle-island/eagleisland1.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic623" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/623__650x1000_eagleisland1.jpg" alt="eagleisland1.jpg" title="eagleisland1.jpg" /></a><br />
The American Heartland may not be the first place that comes to mind when one thinks of a private island, but the wild beauty of the Great Lakes region is actually home to a number of islands found in the thriving “cottage country” regions hidden amid its picturesque forests. Popular with residents of major Midwest cities like Chicago, Minneapolis and Cleveland, these rustic lake retreats offer a unique alternative to typical waterfront cottages, and avoid the overcrowding fast becoming common on the mainland in these sought-after areas. Located in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula near the town of Iron Mountain, the almost 750-acre Lake Antoine is a perfect example of what this unexpected private island destination has to offer.  </p>
<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/eagle-island/eagleisland3.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic621" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/621__650x1000_eagleisland3.jpg" alt="eagleisland3.jpg" title="eagleisland3.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>And for the first time in years, an opportunity for an island retreat in Lake Antoine is now available, with an appeal to both individual buyers and real estate developers. The owner of the 6.8-acre Eagle Island, Mark Blomquist, says that his career as an architect has given him a deep appreciation of the island’s potential for further development. “I bought the island hoping to be able to build my own special work of architecture and family home on one of the sites, but always realized I may not have the financial capabilities to create the type of architecture the island sites deserve and can inspire.  Now that limitation presents a great opportunity for a prospective buyer with the right combination of creative vision, financial means and appreciation for the very best in a northern Michigan island property.” He suggests that one of the best possibilities for Eagle Island is the development of a number of seasonal cottages, taking advantage of the area’s tourism and lifestyle attractions. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/eagle-island/eagleisland8.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic616" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/616__650x1000_eagleisland8.jpg" alt="eagleisland8.jpg" title="eagleisland8.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Eagle Island is indeed uniquely suited to a development of multiple home sites, coming with a long causeway that provides easy access to the island at any time of year. Even in the chilly winter months when many Northern Michigan private islands are rendered inaccessible by partially frozen or stormy waters, the island can be used for a cozy holiday or winter getaway. Ice-fishing, cross-country skiing and a variety of winter activities are popular on Lake Antoine, and the island is conveniently just minutes from the world-renowned Pine Mountain ski resort, home to one of the highest ski jumps in the world. Mark says that while the area receives enough snowfall to allow for full enjoyment of winter sports and activities, the island’s location is just far enough south to avoid the extreme weather that can impact Northern Michigan. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/eagle-island/eagleisland6.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic618" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/618__650x1000_eagleisland6.jpg" alt="eagleisland6.jpg" title="eagleisland6.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>But while the island has much to offer in the winter months, the owner says that it’s during the sunny and warm summer months that the island’s full potential becomes apparent. “I first fell in love with the island while a teenage performer in a local water ski show that practiced and performed on Lake Antoine just off the shore of the island,” he says. When the island, long held by a local family, came up for sale, he found the opportunity to good to resist. And that he’s ready to pass the island to a new owner, Mark hopes that the island’s ideal location, unusual road access and scenic beauty will also prove irresistible for investors. </p>

A sleepy coral atoll home to just a single village, Ahe Atoll is an off-the-beaten track part of one of the world’s most gorgeous island nations. Located at the northern tip of the Tuamotu Archipelago, the little atoll forms a closed ring with a clear lagoon in the centre, accessible by just a single entry point for ships. And sailors have always been fond of this outlying archipelago, including the famous French navigator and author Bernard Moitessier. An icon among sailors, he came across Ahe on one of his many South Pacific voyages, and was so struck by the abundant beauty and peaceful way of life that he stayed for years. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/ahi/pearls-with-shell-576.jpg" title="" class="thickbox" rel="singlepic608" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/608__650x1000_pearls-with-shell-576.jpg" alt="pearls-with-shell-576.jpg" title="pearls-with-shell-576.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Few properties become available in this remote paradise, but one 20-acre island in Ahe is currently on the market. Offered at US $640,000, the island has everything one could want in a tropical paradise; perfect sandy beaches, exotic jungle, and a friendly and welcoming local community. The island is ideal for a relaxed seasonal home, or even a small eco-tourism venture to take advantage of the area’s incredible diving and snorkelling. Renowned for its natural beauty and thriving black pearl farms, Ahe is perfect for the adventurous spirit seeking a less commercial alternative to Bora Bora, and a place you may just want to drop anchor for good.</p>

Found at the northernmost tip of Fiji’s renowned Mamanuca Group, the almost 40 emerald acres of Eori Island are prime for a boutique resort or unique vacation home developments. Bearing an uncanny resemblance to a prehistoric creature swimming through the warm South Pacific waters, the island has excellent elevations with many vantage spots for viewing the epic sunrises and sunsets. Proposed developments include luxury villas, a marina and dive resort complex, an exclusive hotel and spa, or keep it all to yourself as an ultra-private personal retreat. Found just over 50km from Fiji’s main international airport, this paradise island is also surprisingly accessible.</p>

<p>The international artistic capital of Montreal, Canada’s first colonial settlement of Quebec City, and of course, famous chanteuse Celine Dion- the province of Quebec evokes many associations, but they rarely include gorgeous private islands. Regrettably so, because outside of the cosmopolitan cities and charming little towns is an expansive wilderness that attracts tens of thousands of nature lovers each year, with many island-dotted rivers and lakes within just a few hours of Quebec’s urban and cultural attractions.  This combination of wild beauty and sophistication is uniquely Canadian, and makes the province’s private islands highly attractive… even <a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/2008/09/celine-dion-ile-gagnon-quebec/">Celine Dion</a> has one of her own.   </p>

<p>Most of the islands currently available lie within just a few hours from Montreal or the US border, along the winding St. Lawrence River or in the hills of the Laurentian Mountains, known as the Laurentides. One of the most ancient mountain chains on the planet, it took more than five hundred million years to weather the Laurentides into the picturesque landscape that greets visitors today. Gentle valleys bordered by rounded hills are home to beautiful clear lakes, like the scenic Lac-des-Iles, less than two and a half hours from Montreal. Within, you’ll find Ile Major, one of the largest private islands available in the entire province. Covered in rich forests and with the additional option to purchase a charming mainland home, this 420 acre island has incredible potential for development, or preservation by a nature-loving new owner. </p>

<p>Also in the Laurentian hills, the appropriately-named Belle Ile is a wooded 51-acre island with an extraordinary stone residence. Painstakingly constructed in a historic style that reflects Quebec’s original 18th-century architecture, but with luxurious modern amenities, Belle Ile has a winning combination of both the new and old world. And found just a little closer to Montreal is Ravenscrag Island, a tiny micro-island of just half an acre in size, but with ample room for its elegant wood home inside a bordering forest. An hour from the province’s capital and also very close to the premier skiing destination of Mont-Tremblant, this gracious hideaway is a perfect place to enjoy both the province’s many outdoor and urban activities. </p>

<p>The one-acre Secret Island is also convenient to Montreal, just a pleasant 45-minute drive away- which may be why it’s one of Canada’s most popular island rentals, as well as offered for sale. The iconic snowy images of Secret’s cheerfully-painted cottage have been featured in many magazines, creating the image of a dream island retreat at any time of year. But the lakes of the Laurentides aren’t the only places where you can enjoy the pleasures of your own Québécois island. The St. Lawrence River was the method by which Canada’s earliest explorers first discovered the wealth the country had to offer, and within its banks is now the very rare island available for purchase. With a rustic cottage and pretty views, Sheep Island has international appeal- it’s both close to Montreal, and only 20 minutes from the American border at Malone, NY.</p>

<p>Quebec may be most known for its urban cafes and art galleries, but the province is truly one of the rare places where culture and nature combine, offering visitors the chance to experience some of the best that Canada has to offer. And your own island hideaway in this desirable region may be a surprisingly accessible. Ranging from $3M down to just a few hundred thousand dollars, Quebec’s islands are priced extremely well and more often than not, come in a developed state and ready to enjoy. What more could any island lover ask?</p>

<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsonline.com/paraty-island-br.htm"><strong>Island in Paraty</strong> - Price on Request - Set in the gorgeous natural paradise of Brazil&#8217;s southern coast, this private island development offers a unique investment in an elite travel destination. </a></p>
<p>As the South American country of Brazil emerges as a true economic power, international real estate investors are discovering that the nation offers much more than just Carnivale celebrations and famous supermodels. Rich in natural resources and with a stable democratic government, Brazil&#8217;s rising prosperity has made it a growing location for global tourism, and a hot new region for purchasing a private island. Especially along the southern coast, the endless white beaches, clear blue seas and incredible nightlife offer a slightly more exotic alternative to the well-known Caribbean.</p>
<p>
<a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/brazil-article/brazil-private-island3.jpg" title="Image Copyright: Private Islands Inc." class="thickbox" rel="singlepic389" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/389_watermark_650x1000_brazil-private-island3.jpg" alt="Private Islands of Brazil" title="Private Islands of Brazil" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsonline.com/ilha-comprida.htm"><strong>Ilha Comprida, Lagoa Azul</strong> - EUR €3,000,000 - A reclusive island paradise in the unspeakably beautiful environs of Angra dos Reis, Brazil.  </a></p>
<p>It may be new on the international property scene, but the designer luggage of South America&#8217;s own celebrity and financial elite has always filled the lobbies of chic hotels in Angra dos Reis, a scenic enclave located just a couple of hours from Rio de Janeiro. With ivory beaches, exclusive clubs and luxury shopping, the &#8220;Bay of Kings&#8221; has everything to offer the discerning traveler. Private islands with luxury homes and helipads dot the coastline, many owned by South America&#8217;s top performers and business moguls- and by at least one prominent plastic surgeon offering his famous clients an ultra-private recovery spot.  </p>
<p>
<a href="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/brazil-article/brazil-private-island4.jpg" title="Image Copyright: Private Islands Inc." class="thickbox" rel="singlepic387" ><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left" src="http://www.privateislandsmag.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/387_watermark_650x1000_brazil-private-island4.jpg" alt="Private Islands of Brazil" title="Private Islands of Brazil" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsonline.com/itanhanga-island.htm"><strong>Itanhangá Island</strong> - US $14,000,000  - This extraordinary island in Angra dos Reis has preserved a large amount of rainforest, while fully developed as a unique resort. </a></p>
<p>But with Brazil&#8217;s reputation as a boom market, competition is tough for the few private islands available in Angra. New interest from American and other international purchasers has resulted in properties that were sold for under a million dollars just a few years ago to now command prices of $5M or more. In April of 2008 it was reported that Latin pop star Ricky Martin purchased an island along the Angra coast for an incredible US $8M, and prices show no sign of dropping. Interest from previously untapped markets such as Asia and the USA have also spurred the mainland development of resorts, and for love-struck visitors who want to make a more permanent commitment, there’s no shortage of new luxurious condos with sweeping ocean views. </p>
<p>

<p><a href="http://www.privateislandsonline.com/isla-bonita.htm"><strong>Isla Bonita</strong> - US$ 2.6 Million - Isla Bonita is located a short distance from Ilha Grande and the city of Mangatiba with all amenities available. The island is 60 miles from Rio. </a></p>
<p>For all the tranquil, tropical luxury offered by Brazilian islands, the strongest contributing factor to their newfound popularity has been the country’s apparent movement towards economic progress. Initiatives by Brazil’s government to improve education, create employment and drive down crime rates have also helped to reduce concerns about the nation&#8217;s stability for investment. Selected in 2003 by the investment bank Goldman Sachs as one of the four developing countries most likely to dominate the global economy by 2050, beautiful Brazil is ready to prove to international property investors that it&#8217;s more than just a pretty face.</p>

A tiny, perfect island residence with all amenities, Horse Island lies in the picturesque Long Island Sound. Hidden in a small cove of the Sound, the island provides a sense of peace and tranquility, with beautiful gardens and a well-maintained home. Just across the water is Guilford, a quintessential New England town that combines historic 17th century homes and rustic handicrafts with modern amenities and fine dining. A wonderful location for families, the town is upscale and safe, and the surrounding area offers beautiful hiking trails and waterfront pathways. As an added bonus, during low tide one can simply throw on a pair of boots and wander across the exposed sand spit to shore to pick up a coffee and newspaper.</p>
