Nevertheless, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom private island escape remains the ultimate dream.

Located just off the coast of the Florida Keys, Florida, USAIt covers almost an acre and a half and features a 2,300-square-foot main house and a detached guesthouse.

East Sister Rock Island, as it is known, also has an awe-inspiring 800 feet of water frontage and a dock where you can park your boat.

Originally built in the 1980s, the secluded retreat was designed to be self-sufficient.

The island has its own off-grid backup battery powered by solar panels and a wind turbine.

In addition, water is collected from the pyramid-shaped roof and pumped away via a 15,000 liter freshwater reservoir.

Highlights of the property include a coral reef, a chef's kitchen, a large entertainment room with a media room and bar, and a games area.

Perhaps the icing on the cake is the 360 degree view of the ocean from literally anywhere on the property.

The beauty of the building extends to the wooden floors, beamed ceilings and the many windows and sliding doors that take in the ocean views.

Not to mention the bedrooms with high ceilings, treated with high-gloss reflective paint and unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Naturally, the house is made for outdoor living and you will find an outdoor kitchen, lounge area, spacious pergola and a jetty for water toys and boats.

The property is being sold by property brand The Agency, who have it listed on their website for around $16,499,999 (£13,128,224).

Listing agent Ember Duran said, “This secluded oasis redefines opulence and offers an unparalleled retreat just a quarter mile from world-famous Sombrero Beach.”

He added, “East Sister Rock Island is a testament to sustainability and embodies a commitment to environmental harmony and responsible living.”

The lucky buyer is also assured of easy access to and from the property, located “just steps from Marathon's exclusive private airport,” according to Ember.

From there, owners can enjoy the luxury of taking friends and family straight to the on-site helipad.

Of course, there is also the option of arriving at your island escape with your yacht.

“The epitome of luxurious maritime living,” says the real estate agent.

Elsewhere, a beautiful paradise island where you don't have to pay any bills can also become your own private escape.
