As we mentioned earlier, the 10-acre private island owned by James Bond creator Ian Flemming is up for sale. The island, just off the coast of Tobago in the Caribbean, is known as Goat Island. It is approximately 1 mile from the nearest town, called Speyside, and the estate comes with a boat parcel in the town to make travel easier. The main house on the property is a two-story West Indies villa that has 3 bedrooms, all of which have ocean views, and four bathrooms. There are two small apartments, each with a bed and bath, on the hill just up from the main house.

One of the main draws of the property, aside from its exclusive location, is that there is a world-class coral reef just offshore and Fleming himself used to spend an hour a day snorkeling there. Offers of $3 million and above are being accepted.
