Incredibly pristine private island in Patagonia, more than SEVEN TIMES the size of Manhattan, goes on the market for a whopping $35 MILLION

An incredible island in Patagonia with its own mountain range has been put up for sale for a whopping $35 million, offering potential buyers an incredible place to escape the busy world around them.

The property, called Virgin Island, is located in the sparsely populated Aysèn region of southern Chile, on a remote island in the South Pacific with 150 miles of coastline, freshwater lakes and lagoons, as well as a lush forest of more than 110,000 acres. .

In addition to providing a lush habitat, the island could also prove incredibly popular with doomsday preppers looking to escape a possible nuclear attack; Due to its geostrategic location and history of neutrality, Chile is one of the countries least likely to face a nuclear threat, making this remote stretch of land the perfect safe haven.

Furthermore, wind patterns and ocean currents affecting the region are highly unlikely to spread nuclear fallout across Patagonia. Thanks to its decidedly remote location, the island is miles away from any built-up area that would be the target of an attack.

It also has vast reserves of natural resources that can be harnessed to help its wealthy owners survive the apocalypse.

'It is a rare opportunity to present this unprecedented property to the global market.

'A real Rembrandt; the size of this island is unparalleled. Equally atypical is the extraordinary amount of surface water, wetlands, peatlands, more than 100 miles of coastline, waterfalls, springs, creeks, topography and overall biodiversity.

'The country's distinctive elements are finite, rare and irreplaceably exceptional. Located in perhaps one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world, if not the most diverse, the amount of biodiversity and abundance of hundreds of wildlife species is challenging to quantify.

'The opportunities for nature conservation and management here are equally unprecedented. The acquisition of the Virgin Island provides an opportunity to preserve an ecological wonder while contributing to the environment in a meaningful and ecological way.

'Terminology is often thrown away in an overused capacity; however, this characteristic fits the saying 'once in a lifetime'.
