A 10-acre private island featuring a 5-bedroom home, boat dock and personal helicopter pad has hit the market for $27.9 million, making it the priciest listing in the Florida keys. Howell Key is a breathtaking island oasis that boasts a pickleball court, saltwater pool, and a guest house, as well as the main house. The island is just a 5-minute boat ride away from nearby Summerland Key. The island is self-sufficient, energy efficient (powered by solar energy), and has a wastewater recycling system and a 50,000-gallon freshwater tank with a reverse-osmosis water filtration system. There’s just one twist: the island is only accessible by boat or helicopter. Since the property can’t be reached by vehicles, there’s a fenced-in parking lot on one of the larger keys where residents park their cars.
