He further added that the owners spent more than a decade developing the island. “Effectively, it was a 15-year labor of love. This was very much a passion project for the family,” he said. In all, the island has 22 structures, including living areas and outbuildings that house the island’s power and water systems.

In addition to this, the space boasts four guest cottages, each with two bedrooms, as well as a staff house. Infrastructure wise, it includes a water filtration plant, freshwater storage, and power station, as well as an underground power grid.

Remarking further on it, Fredrik Eklund of Douglas Elliman, in a statement to Forbes, said, “This price reflects the incredible surge we see in luxury home values especially in places nearby the Bahamas like Miami and Palm Beach. I have never seen a more powerful real estate market, and the Bahamas, being a popular tax haven for crypto, justified this price that much more.”

Well, talk about the luxe life!
