Found within the United States, this island paradise offers peaceful seclusion, crystal-blue waters, and serene sandy beaches in an undisturbed natural setting. The island has recently undergone an extensive US $1M refurbishment.

Ballast Key, a 26-acre private island estate, has long been a haven for actors, writers, and dignitaries seeking a restful retreat from everyday life. It is only a short boat trip from Key West Harbor to this picturesque setting, where time is kept by the rise and fall of the tides. The two homes on the island reflect Caribbean simplicity and feature spectacular views of the ocean.

One of the only privately owned islands in the Key West Wildlife Refuge, Ballast Key is surrounded by world-class tarpon- and permit-fishing waters. Residents will also enjoy activities such as boating, swimming, diving, and beachcombing along the palm-tree-lined beaches. The island and surrounding waters are bursting with wildlife, including brown pelicans, dolphins, turtles, and great white herons. After nearly 50 years with the same owner, this spectacular island is now on the market.
