REAL-LIFE  ‘BOND VILLAIN’ PRIVATE ISLAND FOR SALE WITH LUXURY VILLA, SWIMMING POOL AND HELIPAD…

AND IT COSTS NOTHING TO RUN

A stunning off-grid lair located just off the coast of the Florida Keys in the US is up for sale for an eye-watering $16.5million (£13.1million).

The real-life 'Bond villain' island spans nearly one-and-a-half acres and features a 2,300-square-foot main house and its own helipad for easy access.

Known as East Sister Rock it also includes an awe-worthy 800 feet of water frontage and a dock for parking your boat, plus a swimming pool with stunning views.

The island - including detached cottage - has an off-grid backup battery powered by solar panels, and wind turbine. Water is collected off the roof and pumped out through a freshwater cistern.

The home is made for living outside, and you'll find an outdoor kitchen, lounge area and expansive pergola. Perhaps the cherry on top is the 360-degree ocean views.

The bedrooms have high ceilings treated with high-gloss reflective paint and unobstructed views of the Atlantic. There are wooden floors and beamed ceilings throughout.

Other highlights include a coral reef, chef's kitchen, large entertainment space with media area and bar, and a gaming corner.
