Ballast Key
AN ISLAND WITH HISTORY IN THE FAMOUS FLORIDA KEYS
$15.8m
Located just 9 miles to the south of Florida’s famous
Key West region, this jewel of an island
forms the southern-most point of land in the
United States. Promising a sense of privacy like
no other, Ballast Key actually forms the only private
island within the Key West National Wildlife Reserve.
Far away from prying eyes despite being only a short
helicopter or boat ride from either Key West or Cuba,
your closest neighbours live eight miles away, affording
you the space and privacy to truly make the most
of this incomparable island idyll.
Home to a decadent main house, a charming guest
house, beaches galore and mile upon mile of unspoiled
wildlife, this tranquil, 28 acre private island has something
of a celebrity past; hosting a veritable who’s who
of the American cultural and literary scene and even
featuring within 1989’s popular James Bond venture,
License to Kill.
Suave enough for Great Britain’s most famous secret
agent, the main house is home to a total of five bedrooms,
including the stunning master suite, which – thanks to an
incredibly well thought out design – is capable of offering
both sunrise and sunset views. Just a short distance
away, the three-bedroom guesthouse is the perfect spot
for entertaining, and even overlooks a palm lined beach.
Water is provided by desalination, meaning there’s nothing
to stop you enjoying life as a castaway in one of
America’s most-sought after regions
