Imagine panoramic coastal views, 2.49 acres of space and a Grade-II listed fort – all on your very own private escape.
It could all be yours, if you have a spare £3 million to splash.
Thorne Island, located just off the Pembrokeshire coast in Wales, is listed for sale on Rightmove.
The lucky new owner will be treated to absolute seclusion and has the choice of either helicopter or boat for their arrival to the island, with a private jetty as well as five private sea moorings and a helipad.
A fort sits at the heart of the site, and totals just over 8,000 square feet, making it a substantial residence.
Characterful features are shown off throughout, including exposed brickwork, sash windows, a wood-burning stove and even vaulted ceilings.

Inside the Grade-II listed abode are several bedrooms as well as a dining and seating area, kitchen and bathrooms
There are five bedrooms on the island and it has the space to sleep up to 20 guests.
Three of the rooms are double and offer en-suite bathrooms as well as views of the surrounding sea and have access to the courtyard.
Another looks out onto Angle Beach and even has a wood-burning stove to keep cosy on winter nights. The fifth bedroom is located centrally, according to the listing.
Other rooms include workshops, boiler rooms, storage and five bathrooms.
There’s also a glass-fronted office space that sits on the western cliff edge.
Throughout the property there’s new flooring as well as hardwood heritage glazed sash windows.
Thorne Island is registered as a Hotel & Premises (VOA Business Rates), meaning the next owner could utilise the space as a commercial venture if they wish.
Outside, the courtyard is complete with a lawn that’s perfect for hosting and offers a great outdoor space.

The lucky owner could even land a helicopter on the island’s very own helipad
A rooftop bar adds to the fun and it even has a games room. Meanwhile, a large terrace area is another spot for holding gatherings.
Residents and guests can make the most of the island’s surroundings and natural landscapes.
There are caves to explore, sandy beaches and great spots for fishing. Water sports should also be easy to enjoy.
The island is also completely off grid and is powered by a range of renewable energy systems.
From a 250,000 litre rain harvesting system to a PV Solar display with 100kWh battery storage, Thorne Island is well prepared.
It even has air source heat pumps that provide hot water and underfloor heating.
But if Thorne Island is out of your budget, another is on the market for less than the price of a London house.
Mali Kosmać, located in the Šibenik Archipelago on Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, is currently listed for sale for €700,000 (£603,377).
There’s plenty of characterful features in the fort, from bare brickwork to vaulted ceilings
This little slice of paradise is the smallest property currently listed on the Croatian private island market, but the asking price is lower than a terraced house in London.
According to property portal Rightmove, most homes sold in the capital over the past year were flats, with an average sale price of £513,624, while terraced properties sold for an average £775,447.
Situated around 250 metres from the mainland and around 22 kilometres west of Split Airport, Mali Kosmać offers seclusion without complete isolation.
Mali Kosmać itself covers around 1.2 acres, and, unlike many larger islands marketed as luxury development opportunities, it remains entirely undeveloped.
It is flat and covered in dense macchia shrubland, typical Mediterranean vegetation consisting of hardy shrubs and low-growing plants.
Rocky shores surround much of the island, making access by boat a little challenging depending on the weather.
