That's only a hot deal if you get 12 nautical miles of territorial waters included.

How much to add water treatment and a solar/wind power setup?

 

[T9D]

I'd stick a castle resort on top and make millions from that.

I'm sure if you can afford 75m for the island, you can afford a few million more for development.

I'm going to completely pull numbers out of my ass here but...

If it's two miles the long way that plateau might be 1/4 mile across, if we assume it's roughly circular that's potentially 30+ acres on the plateau alone.

Hell of a place. Too bad I'm in no position to even visit, let alone buy.

If I had $200 million in cash, I'd be all over it.

$75 million for the island
$50 million for infrastructure and housing - not sure how much it would take to make the island relatively self-sustaining
$25 million for discretionary - helicopter, boats minisubs, robotic minigun security system etc...
$25 million to fund an all female ninja defense force

That is assuming that they are considering the reef in the measurement, otherwise that plateau is much larger.

I just put a down payment on it. Please lock/delete this thread.

From the link:

OWNERSHIP

Ownership of Vatu Vara island is free and unencumbered Freehold land, extremely rare in Fiji as only 7% of land is freehold. If every single island in Fiji were counted, the isles of the Fiji archipelago would number in the thousands. However, a mere 322 are judged large enough for human habitation and of these only 106 are inhabited. That leaves a total of 216 uninhabited islands, most of which are prohibitively isolated or lack fresh water. Of these only 43 which are freehold.

It is this limited availability of private islands in Fiji is why their prices have dramatically escalated in the last few years. Private islands are extremely rare now in Fiji, I should know I have hundreds of islands worldwide, yet I have less than a handful here, and freehold islands are even rarer. The burgeoning fame of Fiji as a tourist attraction, and its favor by Americans has pushed the real estate prices here through the roof. Yet no amount of money can buy the ultimate privacy that a ?private? island ensures.

Apart from that it offers a very canny real estate investment, with rapidly escalating land values and less and less islands on the market my prediction is that in the next 18 months to 2 years there will be virtually no private islands left in Fiji for sale.

ACCESSIBILITY

Currently the only access to the island is by boat, in a 20km trip from neighbouring Kaibu island. However there is a large flat limestone area on the eastern side of the island where a 2,000 metre 6,800 feet, large enough even to land a jumbo jet or private jet.

Although there is no channel through the lagoon, smaller boats can access it at high tide, and the large rock promontory at the south of the island could be used for the location of a deep-water wharf where even the largest ships could dock.

helloooo secret fortress

 

[lytalbayre]

I doubt there is fresh water supply on that island. You'd have to get a huge tank and collect rain water. Looks really nice though.

I thought Necker Island was on sale.

You have high ground and any smart person would build some kind of storm shelter.
