A Private Island In France Is On The Market For Just $2.6 Million

โ€” 20 November 2019

If youโ€™ve ever dreamt of owning your own European island, itโ€™s unlikely youโ€™ll find a better-priced option than the โ€œIle de Roch ar Honโ€ off the coast of France. 

Just a 10-minute boat ride from the western shores of France, the island is currently on the market for a surprisingly low AU$2.6 million. 

Nestled amongst a small area of the โ€œpetite bijouโ€ islands, which translates as โ€œlittle gem,โ€ itโ€™s selling for the same price youโ€™d pay for a family home in the centre of Paris. 

The lush 6,420-square-foot island plays host to a modest home with stone walls and a slate roof that was first built during the 18th century. The cottage was renovated over a three year period from 1993-1996 and comes with two bedrooms, a fireplace, and a nautical-themed living room. The house also comes fully furnished so thereโ€™s no need to stack the boat up with new kit from the local IKEA.

For those wondering about amenities, the island is connected to power, has running water and a telephone, with a boat being the only way to access the property. Thereโ€™s even a hidden path with stairs that leads to a sentry box at the islandโ€™s summit so you can observe who is floating past your little slice of paradise.

If you think this is a wise investment, you can find more information about the sale at sothebysrealty.com. If $2.6 million is still a little steep, however, perhaps consider renting one of these seven opulent private islands with the squad.
