Bond villain-style paradise island with secluded mansion & ‘lobster temple’ is so well stocked you NEVER need to leave
A BOND villain-style paradise island with a sprawling mansion sits tucked away and hidden from civilisation.
The secretive spot is equipped with everything needed to spend a long stint there before having to leave – and it even has a lobster temple.
Strum island is a remote island surrounded by the crystal clear Atlantic ocean waters.
Located off the coast of Nova Scotia it’s the perfect place for those wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and can only be reached by boat or helicopter.
The island is on the market for £9million and is thought to be stocked to the brim with enough supplies to stay there for at least a year, according to the listing.
Boasting a sprawling Bondesque mansion with six bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms the location is the height of luxury.
The rustic hand-carved bar and a signature fireplace is a sight to behold and the massive gourmet kitchen is any budding chef’s dream.
And for the chefs who like to be at one with nature while they cook up a storm there is even an outdoor cooking area dubbed the Lobster Temple.
The large dining area is perfect for dinner parties and there’s even a butler’s pantry.
The home spans two floors of living space, with a media room, exercise room, spa, and an expansive third-floor primary suite that includes an executive lounge.
There is also an observation tower with stunning panoramic views of the ocean.
In addition to the main lodge, the island has a two-storey guesthouse, complete with its own kitchen and coffee bar, dining room and lounging area.
The Lobster Temple features a wood-burning fireplace and lobster pot arm and two other small buildings, the Rose Hut and Beach Hut, for taking in ocean views away from the main house.
The 10-acre private island is nestled in the heart of Mahone Bay, which is about an hour’s drive from Halifax International Airport, but it cannot be reached by car.
The house listing reads: “Relax with a glass of wine in the rose hut while soaking in the hot tub, or feast with friends in your very own lobster temple! Whatever escape you are looking for, you will find it on Strum Island.”
There are separate staff quarters on the island, which are currently being used as a licensed micro-cannabis processing facility, but the new owners can convert the property back to bedrooms, the listing says.
The online brochure claims that the island comes with two boats and a helicopter landing pad.
Strum Island is teeming with vegetation, including 50,000 species of plant and a self-sustainable vegetable garden – making it a paradise for those with green fingers.
A video for the property says it’s also possible to fish and hunt for food on the island.
It is “designed with security, seclusion, and self-sustainability in mind,” the listing says.
