Emerald Cay, Now At A Deep Discount

Filed under: Estates

I've seen some deep discounts recently but this has to be one of the biggest. Emerald Cay, a private island in the Turks & Caicos Islands was for sale last year at $75 million. Now you can get it for millions less. The incredible property is a luxury hideaway that is accessed via a remote-controlled swing bridge and a Turkish marble driveway.

The island is on over two acres sits surrounded by turquoise water and white powder beaches. The magnificent estate encompasses approximately 30,000 square feet of interiors all wired for everything through a Crestron system. A three-story great room has 45-foot-high cypress ceilings. There is also a three-story library, a master bedroom pavilion and an award-winning home theater.

The estate includes three guest suites, a 6,000-bottle wine cellar, two adjoining swimming pools with a waterfall, a barbecue pavilion, tennis and volleyball courts, two boat slips, a boat house, a guest house, a caretaker's home, and two private beaches. Life's short - but your quality time doesn't have to be, says Lyle Schmidek, owner/broker of the Christie's affiliate for the Turks and Caicos Islands who has listed this home at the new low price of $48.5 million.

Newfoundland Island For Sale

We covered a gorgeous tropical island recently. A very different type of island has hit eBay. A Newfoundland island is up for sale for $6 million. The ten-acre island known as Greeps Head or Bald Eagles Head includes a 160-year-old house. The area of Grand Bruit, on the southwest coast of Newfoundland is accessible only by boat or airplane and the island is connected to the mainland by a 100-foot causeway. The area has no roads or major automobile traffic. The area has beautiful hiking and the chance to see a wide variety of wildlife. Grand Bruit has a museum and there is an annual summer festival held in August. After reading The Shipping News, I think I've been scared off Newfoundland but if you need a remote and chilly hideaway this is the place for you.
