Buy an Island off the Coast of Florida for $11 Million

Have you ever dreamt about living on a secluded island in the middle of the ocean? If you have $11 million you can have your own private island.

This island is located off the coast of Marathon, Florida. And if you are not yet sure that you want to make this island your hideout, you don't have to buy it yet. You can rent East Sister Rock Island while you decide. This very secluded, small island is only a quarter-mile offshore, therefore you will not be very far from the rest of the world.

According to Yahoo Real Estate, as part of the package, this private island for sale comes with a house that is ready for moving in. It is already complete with basic stuff like electricity and running water. The wind- and solar-powered electricity as well as a 16,000-gallon cistern with crystal-clear water and a generator serve as back up for any contingency. There are four bedrooms and three bathrooms all luxuriously designed. There is also cable TV and complete modern amenities. If the ocean is too harsh, you can take a dip in the pool instead.

Overall, the house is comprised of 2,300 square feet of living space and 2,800 square feet of open deck space. The island is a three-minute boat ride from the mainland. But the property also has a helicopter pad in case you want to get there by helicopter. The property is worth $11 million but if you only want to experience living in a private island, you can rent it out for $1,000 a night.

The property has been featured on TV in channels including Travel Channel, Discovery Channel and House Hunters International. The island is surrounded by coral reef, which makes it an ideal place for snorkeling and scuba diving or any watersport.
