Exotic. Isolated. Romantic. These were the words I thought or when I imagined a private island. Not anymore. Now, only one word comes to mind. With reminiscences of the legendary businesswoman and personality of the media Gemma Collins, Stansted Airport and, of course, the homonym Joey: Essex.

Yes, the island, a private island in the Blackwater River estuary, near Maldon in Essex, is on sale. It is expected to reach £ 25,000,000, it covers approximately 380 acres and has a total of 90 rooms and 61 bathrooms. Not everyone in a giant palace, but extends through a series of buildings on the island.

An additional advantage: it is only 40 miles from the center of London, which makes it eminently switable, especially if it has a helicopter. Which, if you are fishing in the pound of ownership of £ 25 million, could well do it.

If that doesn’t sound unique enough, there is more. It is where rapper Stormzy wrote his last album This is what I mean And that is where The black woman It was filmed. The third day Starring Jude Law, 28 years later Directed by Danny Boyle and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s SUPERSAR DE JESÚS CHRIST They were also filmed on the island.

And if all That It is not enough yet, the only way inside and outside is an old novel road that is under water in the low tide, letting you get home by boat or air. And for ‘Casa’, we refer to one of the 38 residential properties that include a stately house and a series of other houses, cabins and apartments. Perfect for you and 37 of your closest friends.

In addition, it has public buildings, events of events and could develop more, if you are looking at the many, many properties on the island of Osea and thinking they were, they were no longer enough in their 380 acres of land.

Since 2004, he has bones owned by the musical producer Nigel Frieda, better known for founding the sugababes and having produced the Rolling Stones. As expected, the island has been a place for weddings that include Olly Murs’, which is from Essex and all kinds of events on list A, in addition to being used as a set of movies. He was also hired by Rihanna.

According to the BBC, it also plays a partial duration of the First World War, when the rapid torpedo boats operated equipped from a secret naval base there. The cover history of that base, so we can see this photo of 1918, is that the island served as an advanced position of the real naval service of women:

Today, it offers music studies spoke with latest generation recording facilities and events spaces.

Georgie Veale, or Knight Frank, with whom the property is in the market, along with Fine & Country called it an exceptionally rare, unique in life ‘opportunity, and I completely agree.

The island is beautiful, with impressive sea views and a lot of green space and the properties are not only great, but they have history. Each one tells a story of the people who have lived there before. If I had the opportunity, I would move tomorrow. And probably I would never leave.

Idea Island is on sale through Caballero Frank and Good and country.
