AN Amazing private island a mile off UK coast could be yours for £2,500,000 million – and it comes with its own cinema and lighthouse.
A lucky Brit could get their hands on this historic Victorian fort with nine rooms and idyllic sea views.
The luxurious Spitbank Island Fort built in 1860 to protect the United Kingdom from invasion, one mile offshore from Portsmouth.
This impressive structure served as a naval base available via ship and is flanked by two forts: No Man’s Land Fort and Horsesands Fort.
After the luxury owners put the stunning build on the market last year, the value dropped by £500,000.
They can get hold of the historic castle for £2. 5 billion.
The future home offers 360-degree views of the Solent and the Isle of Wight.
There is also a sauna and recreational facilities, its own cinema.
To retain their antique value, all rooms have retained some of their Victorian features.
Real estate agent Knight Frank, listed on the online real estate site Zoopla, says: “Standing on the bridge of the fort, you are inspired by the general tranquility that can only be felt on a personal island.
“Seascapes are transforming and at dusk and dawn, the rising and setting sun produces stunning backdrops.
“The solitude of the finest seas combined with the breathtaking 360-degree sea perspectives provides an unparalleled degree of privacy and atmospheric isolation. “
Their strong brethren were built in 1860 by the British Army from French warships.
The 3 forts were commanded by the then Prime Minister, Henry Temple, and the 3rd Viscount Palmerston.
They became known as “The Palmerston Follies” when submarine defenses were strained against each other in the Second World War.
The castle was used in World War I, and later World War II, to protect the English coast from Nazi attacks.
The giant walls are 15 feet high and were used as barracks for the transitional army.
After the end of the wars, this piece of history became a museum.
Years later, it was converted into a hotel after being bought by businessman Mike Clare in 2009 to host parties.
However, due to his residential status, Mr. Clare hopes to take advantage of it.
Buckinghamshire businessman Clare bought the three forts and had in the past tried to sell them for £8 million.
This comes when the “smallest” island in the world has been put up for sale and can be yours for less than the value of a home.
Isle Fraser, which is located on the Saint-Laurence River in Quebec, Canada, will cost you just $415,437.
The house, built in 1898, has remained in its condition.
It is situated approximately one hour from Montreal and 45 minutes from Ontario, while it takes just 10 minutes to reach the state of New York.
