One of the largest homes on a small private island in Florida is now on the market.
Located at
1 Grant Is, the 4,591-square-foot home sits on Grant Island, also known as Grand Farm Island or VIP
(Vacation Island Playground) Island.
The 50-acre island is accessible only by boat or helicopter, and is just a five-minute boat ride from the mainland fishing town of Grant in Brevard County. The island was o
riginally used for farming until the north half was developed and marketed as VIP Island in the 1960s by real estate developer
Ronald Rathbun, who sold the lots for "$1,995, or $10 down and $10 a month," reports the TC Palm.
Built in 2020, the four-bedroom, three-bathroom house sits on a double lot and was built with exotic Guyanese hardwood. It also features two docks, a guest cottage and a private helipad.
The asking price is currently $4,499,983, and the listing agent is Marcie Bolt of Engel & Voelkers, Melbourne Beachside.
