How to Buy a Caribbean Private Island With a Solar-Powered Bungalow

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - August 30, 2016

One of the Caribbean’s top private island real estate listings is now even cheaper.

The only private island off the southern Salinas coast of Puerto Rico, this property has 25 acres of mangroves, jungle foliage and beach.

It’s the ultimate castaway fantasy, a self-sustaining private paradise with palm trees, beaches and total seclusion.

And while the original price was $2.5 million, the price has been slashed to just $1.45 million.

But, unusually for most private islands listed in the Caribbean, this one already comes with a place to live: it includes a three-bedroom wood cabin with panoramic views and a swimming pool.

The island is located just six minutes by boat from the mainland.

The property, which runs on solar power, has backup generators, a 300-gallon water cistern and is navigable by either foot or dune buggy.

The bungalow is solar-powered.

It’s listed with Sotheby’s International Realty Puerto Rico. And it’s perhaps the Caribbean’s top private island bargain.
