A private island in Patagonia goes on the market for $35 million

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

Dubbed Virgin Island, the property is located in the sparsely populated region of Aysèn in southern Chile, on an isolated island in the South Pacific that offers 150 miles of coastline, freshwater lakes and lagoons, as well as lush forest, with an area of ​​more than 110,000 acres. .

In addition to providing a lush habitat, the island could also prove incredibly popular with any 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 piece of land the perfect safe haven.

What’s more, the wind patterns and ocean currents affecting the region are highly unlikely to spread fallout over Patagonia. Thanks to its decidedly remote location, the island is miles from any built-up area that could be the target of an attack.

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

‘The conservation and management opportunities here are also unprecedented. The acquisition of the Virgin Islands presents an opportunity to preserve an ecological wonder while contributing to the environment in a meaningful and environmentally friendly way.

‘Terminology is often discarded because it is overused; However, this property fits the saying “once in a lifetime.”
