You seen to get quite alot for £75m

Never before have I considered needing an operations village, warehousing and stores as part of my property.


Let alone a suitable location to moore my super yacht.

Nah, Exumas are like Piccadilly Circus darlings. I'd be further South

Party town with a beach that's a whole less rubbish than Newquay (okay, minus the surfing)

Surfing but without too much of the Party Town atmosphere you say? Perhaps you need a blank slate project in Perranporth, with a double garage and walking distance from the surf. (Well, the tide goes out quite a way twice a day, but it's still walk-able.)

It's a nice spot for a flatten & rebuild job TBH. Lots of cash for a plot though!

Do you have $75m to spare?

Awful.

No proper roads, so no cars. They're going to have to drop the price a metric fkton for me to even consider it on that basis.

Who am I kidding? That's fking sublime.

Sadly I doubt you could get a super yacht near the island, due to shallow draft issues and moving sand banks.

You should be able to land the chopper somewhere, right? Then the yacht can be a few minutes away in the deeper water...

It would hardly be an inconvenience...

They say there's a deep draught Dock at the 'Operations' end of the island...

Very True, but one would have to ask the question.

If you have a yacht large enough to operate a chopper from, why on earth would you want an island as well and if you have both why would you want them located in the same part of the world?!

[Bonefish Blues]

A seaplane would be the coolest way to get there

Agreed. A nice 50-80' sailing catamaran (which are typically very shallow draught) would be absolutely plenty to spend time out exploring. Bering can make the 'island tender' for me.

That's what I was thinking. Also I would say a seaplane is classed as an essential item out there, so put me down for a few of those as well.

Good shout. I'd be tempted to see what's happening in the modern world with ground effect planes too.

Iirc, there's a couple of modern 'mini-ekranoplan' type bits of kit?

Depreciating asset given the projected rise in sea levels

Can get breezy on occasions, too.

Am puzzle - you'd be in one of the most naturally beautiful parts of the world and choose to fly at 15ft?

That’s a lot of space, slightly awkwardly arranged… Can’t say I’m a fan of the outside, but if you need a lot of room (and rooms) then it’s got something going for it!

not knowing Stockport I can't comment on the area but that seems fantastic VFM. I actually like the looks from the outside - but I'd agree that the interior seems to defy attempts to arrange things in an orderly way (maybe ideal for a large multigenerational family)

Good example of how difficult it is to convert a church to a decent and useable level and create a nice family home due to an awkward form and layout. You’d have to spend a fair chunk to get rid of that gopping interior too.
