Would you like your own private island?

Private Mediterranean Island – For Sale

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, defines an island as a naturally formed area of land, surrounded by water, which is above water at high tide.
There are many thousands of uninhabited islands in the world but not all can be privately owned. There are however islands in many areas of the world which are available to private ownership. Some islands can be bought undeveloped, while others include buildings and infrastructure. Most islands are purchased for either residential privacy or commercial development for tourism.
"Private" islands in many countries including the United Kingdom, are not legally private – any foreshore, such as beaches, is owned by the state, and is hence publicly accessible property.

A number of important points are necessary considerations before buying an island.
• Has legal ownership been established?
• If you are a foreign national are there any restrictions on ownership and/or development?
• Is there a means of access? If surrounded by shallow waters which will only take a canoe, it would be very difficult to bring in building materials. A natural harbour is a major asset.
• How close is the nearest airport?
• Is there a mainland or island community nearby with hospital, emergency services and provisions?

• Is there fresh water? Some islands require desalination plants, which can be very expensive.

• What services are available? Solar- or wind-powered electricity, generator, septic tank are basic requirements.

• Is the host country politically stable?

Buying a Castle

An Englishman’s home is his castle, but very few of us actually live in or consider buying a castle.
As an alternative investment, quality real estate and unique properties are a sound choice. Castles, Chateaux and historic mansions have for some time been favoured by European investors and the current economic climate has highlighted their long term potential.
You can commission and build a new castle today, but buying an original historic castle is not only owning a piece of history, but a prestigious and valuable long term investment. Many of the European castles also come with a title, such as Lord of the Manor, Scottish Laird, or even Count.

A castle may be defined as a “private fortified residence" initially being the home of a lord or noble, in contrast to a fortress, which was not a home. Developed during the Middle Ages they are mainly located in Europe and the Middle East. A château is a French manor house or residence of a lord or noble with or without fortifications.
On wine-producing estates, Chateau has a somewhat different meaning. Although there are estates with true châteaux on them, it is customary for any wine-producing estate, to prefix its name with "Château".

A castle may be used as a private residence or company headquarters, sometimes both, but it may also be a source of revenue, as a tourist attraction, hotel, conference centre or film location.

The restoration of a castle requires specialist builders and restoration experts. If recent restoration work has not been done then it is important to seek specialist advice, not only on the work required but also the availability of materials.

If you want to buy a castle, we can help you.
