Islands in Europe

Ceja Island is located 800 metres from shore off the tip of Croatia’s Istrian Peninsula. This position grants the property convenient access to the municipality of Medulin (three kilometres to the northeast), Medulin’s region airport (7 kilometres to the north), and the seafront city of Pula (10 kilometres to the northwest) – and vice versa. Though spanning approximately 40 acres in total, Ceja is divided between private land ownership and state ownership. 25 acres are available for purchase, wh

What currently exists as agricultural land also presents an intriguing opportunity for development – pending the relevant bureaucratic processes. Shore Island, a 30-acre island within the Shannon Estuary, currently finds purpose as year-round grazing land for cattle. But several ruins that remain on the island have the potential to help planning permission applications for new, inhabitable residences. There is already a pipe supplying fresh water to the island.

St. Athanasios is the smallest island in the Greek market. But, its manageable size, flat land, and picturesque location provide ideal conditions for private residential development. The island lies just one kilometre from the shore and can be reached by boat from the nearby coastal town of Itea. Olive and pine trees inundate St. Athanasios’ interior, while a small sandy beach marks the northwestern coast.

This contemporary masterpiece sits on 60 acres, overlooking Dunmore Bay and a private island. With 3 reception rooms, 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and an indoor pool, it offers panoramic sea views extending to Loop Head Lighthouse and Kerry Head. Built to exacting standards, this home blends striking architecture with classical influences. Ornate decorative ceilings, a stone staircase with brass-coated balustrades, and exquisite Bossi chimneypieces merge seamlessly with modern design. A helipad, sea

Petalas Island, also listed under Dulichium Island, is the largest of the Echinades – an archipelago found in the Ionian Sea. Here, winding coastlines facilitate sailing adventures, and turquoise waters harbour an abundance of marine life. Dulichium’s foremost feature is its impressive size, spanning a staggering 1335 acres and rising to a high point of 250 metres above sea level. A property of such size poses the question of development.

Isola delle Femmine (Island of the Women), also known as Isolotto, is another Italian island steeped in history – from the provenance of its name to the relics it features. One legend tells that Turkish maidens were sent from their homeland on ships and left adrift in the middle of the sea. In time, the ships came to wreck on a small island, and it was there that they lived for seven years. The island in question became known as Isola delle Femmine.

Isola Lunga, also known as Isola Grande, is the largest of the Stagnone islands. The property serves as an exemplar of the Marsala coast. While the island in its entirety is approximately 120 hectares, roughly 88 hectares are for sale on the real estate market. The available acreage contains several ruined properties that have residential potential if restored.

Isola Ravaiarina is a property with untapped tourist potential. The property has two defining features – a once-operational restaurant and a collection of purpose-built fish farm lagoons. A potential investor could once again harness the surrounding lagoon’s natural bounty for use in Isola Ravaiarina’s restaurant. An injection of capital is arguably the spark needed to bring the return of paying customers.

On Myrholmen, there are 4 buildings. In the main building, we find the island’s Master Bedroom with space for a double bed and a single bed. The kitchen is also located here, equipped with a stove, fridge, and freezer compartment powered by gas. The guest house is furnished with 3 sleeping places. A wood-fired sauna for the cool summer nights and a building with a dry toilet are also available. As its name suggests, Myrholmen is not very large, but on this island, you do not need to be restraine

Ardoilean Island is a unique investment opportunity. The property, also known as High Island, is an expanse steeped in history, with archaeological artefacts inundating the ~79-acre plot. Foremost, church remnants on the island correlate with early Iron Age settlements. There is also the foundation of a monastery on Ardoilean’s southwestern edge that dates back to the seventh century. Other examples of historical relics are the remains of an old water mill, a granite globe, and a long-disused co

Nestled between its sibling islands – West Calf and East Calf – Middle Calf Island offers a prime location in the middle of County Cork’s Roaring Water Bay. Of similar size to its western neighbour, which is also listed on the private island market, Middle Calf has a history of human habitation and agricultural usage. Once home to numerous families and a school, the island now only supports a herd of grazing Kerry Bog ponies – though numerous ruins endure as reminders of the land’s heritage.

Spanning 54 acres within the blue waters of the Aegean Sea, Stroggilo Island presents itself as an ideal sanctuary for sailors and island hoppers. Stroggilo, or Strogylo as it is locally named, hosts generous anchorage alongside three natural beaches. These features foster curiosity as to the island’s development potential. While an old house and a well with groundwater currently sit in ruin on the property, future efforts to redevelop or expand would be subject to planning permission and approv
