Nicolas Cage no longer wants his private island in the Bahamas and is selling it through Christie’s Real Estate.
Being owners and lords of a private island is something that tempts celebrities to the point of sinning… perhaps it is the weight of fame that makes them look for intimate and hidden places to lighten the load; Leonardo DiCaprio succumbed to the charm of a private island in Belize back in 2005, Johnny Depp fell in love with the Bahamas when he was filming Pirates of the Caribbean and ended up taking over a small Caribbean island that he called Fuck Off Island; Pamela Anderson bought a private island in Dubai and Mel Gibson one in the Fiji Islands, Celine Dion in Quebec, Ricky Martin in Brazil and Spilberg in Portugal… Nicolas Cage also succumbed to the irresistible lure of a private island and bought Leaf Cay in 2006 , in the Bahamas, cost him 3 million dollars; that is the island that he has now put up for sale.
The sale price of this island in 2022 exceeds 7 million dollars and this notable revaluation (it is sold for more than double what it cost…) does not only have to do with the cost of living or the increase in the price of real estate but with the nature and possibilities of Leaf Cay: the island in question is in the Exumas, 85 miles southeast of Nassau and offers a space of 30 acres where you will discover 3 paradisiacal beaches and 2 ponds; In addition, the necessary developments to build a marina and 5 bungalows with auxiliary buildings on the island have already been approved.
Leaf Cay is thus presented not only as a paradisiacal island and a luxury refuge but also as a great business opportunity to set up, for example, a small and charming boutique hotel with a private yacht port…
