Come on, this property languished for YEARS and YEARS with heavy marketing in every glossy real estate magazine you could think of in the 1990's. Only when it finally was offered at a firesale price (well under $2M) did it move - and even then it appears to profiteers who did little to improve it.<br><br>It is beautiful and spectacular, but who really wants to have a massive white elephant in the Thousand Islands in 2006?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Spectacular Bid]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 12th 2006 12:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Singer Castle, Estate of the Day]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2006/07/07/singer-castle-estate-of-the-day/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2006/07/07/singer-castle-estate-of-the-day/</guid><description><![CDATA[Vladi of Vladi Private Islands owns this Castle Island. Vladi bought it a few years ago for under US$3 Million and is now selling it for US$22 Million... Now that's a mark up! I wonder why Vladi is not selling this on his own site www.vladi.de. Maybe he is embarrassed of the 19 Million Dollar mark up? Way to go, capitalism rules!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[A Mirenzi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 12th 2006 1:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Singer Castle, Estate of the Day]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2006/07/07/singer-castle-estate-of-the-day/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2006/07/07/singer-castle-estate-of-the-day/</guid><description><![CDATA[Vladi had this castle/island for sale on his site for only 2.5 Million just a few years ago.

Since then, substantial investments exceeding US $10 million have been made in the property, including the entire renovation of the castle interior, exterior, roof and other outbuildings, the creation of a successful tourist and wedding location hire business, as well as the purchase of a mainland property. The island and castle are now for sale through the exclusive listing agents, Sothebys International Realty, who have independently valued the property at US $22 million.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[F.
