Private Island Chain Consisting Of Eight Islands Goes On Sale For £59million

Owning your own private island has got to be up there on almost everyone's bucket list.

If money was no object, you'd definitely buy one - right?

Well, this incredible set of eight private islands is blowing my damn mind. It's not just a shitty little island with a palm tree on it. They've got mansions with golf putting greens, tennis courts AND a view of the New York skyline. Holy shitballs.

The Daily Mail reported that owners, Christine and Edmund Stoecklein, have decided to sell eight of their islands that are part of the Thimble Islands archipelago.

If you're particularly interested, these are located in the Long Island Sound off the coast of Branford.

Altogether, they're selling them for around £59,000,000. Which is upsetting but also is a lot cheaper than I'd expect. Check out some of the pictures...

I wish we could have a proper look inside, but sadly the pictures aren't online yet. Maybe we should ask for a viewing? But somehow I don't think they're going to believe I'm a millionaire.

Back to the drawing board, lads.
