A STUNNING personal island just 1. 6km off the coast of the UK can be yours for £2. 5 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 island Spitbank Fort built in 1860 to protect the United Kingdom from invasion, a 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 impressive build on the market last year, the value was reduced by £500,000.
Those who can get their hands on the historic castle for £2. 5 million.
The future house has 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.
Listed on the property site Zoopla, estate agents Knight Frank said: “Standing on the deck of the fort, one is immediately impressed by the complete tranquillity that can only be experienced on a private 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. “
Her strong brethren were built in 1860 for 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 strained each other in World War II.
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 was turned into a museum.
Years later it was converted into a hotel after it was bought by entrepreneur 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, on the St. Lawrence River in Quebec, Canada, will only charge you $415,437.
The house, which was built in 1898, has remained in its original state.
It is approximately one hour from Montreal and forty-five minutes from Ontario, while it only takes 10 minutes to reach New York State.
