Pumpkin Key is a private, entirely self-sufficient island with water and electric just minutes by boat to Key Largo, FL. The island totals 26 acres and currently encompasses a three-bedroom main home, two caretakers’ cottages and a dock master’s apartment. Though, whoever purchases this tropical oasis wouldn’t actually have to live on it. The staggering $95 million asking price also includes a mansion on shore with dockage at the private Ocean Reef Club. The shore home is a three-minute boat ride from the island itself.
A short ten-minute helicopter ride will get you to Miami’s famous South Beach from the island. Tennis courts at the center of the island double as a helipad. There’s also a 20-slip marina that can accommodate a mega-yacht and a dock master’s office, as well as golf cart paths encircling the island. An airstrip for private jets is within the Ocean Reef Club on shore. While private, the island is completely accessible for its homeowners and their guests.
The listing suggests development plans for the island’s new owners. It could be an exclusive family compound with several spacious bay front homes or could be converted into an extension of the Ocean Reef Club. Up to twelve private homes, each on one-acre bay front lots, could be built on the island. Any configuration would enjoy panoramic views of the encircling Card Sound Bay and the Keys’ spectacular sunsets.
