Who wouldn’t want their own private island? It is the perfect place to escape to when you need a break from reality and other people. But, an island is plenty of space to then have friends and family over. You get to enjoy privacy with your close loved ones, while still not feeling cramped. If only we could all afford our own private islands.

If you’re on the market for an island, then you’re going to want to look at Florida. This little island in the Florida Keys is just 10 minutes away from Key Largo!

Not only is the island breathtakingly beautiful, it has an adorable name. Welcome to Pumpkin Key. I wonder if you can always find a slice of pumpkin pie in the kitchen on this 26-acre island? I’d sure hope with a name like that.

Listed on Sotheby’s Realty, Pumpkin Key is described as:

Pumpkin Key is an extraordinary private island totaling 26 acres in the tropics of Card Sound Bay located in the Florida Keys. Just 10 minutes by helicopter to Miami’s infamous South Beach and 10 minutes by boat to its shore home with dockage at Ocean Reef, a private club in Key Largo, Florida with an airstrip for private jets.
This island with its proximity to Ocean Reef and Miami, offers the opportunity for privacy without isolation. The lush and vibrant landscape offers endless possibilities for development. Self sufficient with water and electric in place from shore to the 12 large bay front lots.

The island features one 3-bedroom main home, two caretakers cottages, and a dock master’s apartment. On the island, there are 10 bedrooms, 11 full baths, and 3 half baths. Along with the apartment, the dock master also has an office. The island’s dock is impressive. It has a 20-slip marina and can comfortably fit a mega yacht.

At the center of the island sits the tennis courts (which can also serve as a helipad). Golf cart paths circle the entire island.

While all of those features are great, it is the views on this island that would sell any prospective buyer. The island owner would get panoramic views of Card Sound Bay. The Caribbean island is also close to Miami and Ocean Reef.
