A breathtaking private island off the west coast of Ireland is now on the market for €2,850,000 (approximately $3.69 million). Once the sanctuary of Egyptian-Irish businessman Nadim Sadek, this 65-acre emerald islet has been meticulously transformed into a 21st-century luxury retreat.
The crown jewel of the property is the Island House, a stunning 12,000-square-foot residence designed by Andrew Wright, the European Young Architect of the Year. This six-bedroom masterpiece features expansive reception rooms and an adjacent leisure complex complete with a gym, games room, cinema, and a large indoor heated swimming pool and jacuzzi that open onto sweeping external terraces.
Beyond the main residence, the island offers a wealth of additional accommodations, including the Pavilion, Reef Cottage, Yard Cottage, and the spacious three-bedroom Pier Cottage, along with a dedicated Crafts House.
The estate is fully equipped for a high-end lifestyle, boasting a floating marina, a state-of-the-art boat house, American barns, and a multi-purpose artificial grass court for tennis, basketball, and football. With stabling for equestrian pursuits and prime coastal access for fishing, Inish Turk Beg is a rare opportunity to own a fully developed, self-sustaining luxury sanctuary.
Property Highlights:
- 65 acres of freehold land
- 15 bedrooms and 7 reception rooms
- Indoor pool, cinema, and gym
- Multiple guest cottages and a crafts house
- Helicopter pad, floating jetty, and sports courts
- Equestrian stabling and boat house
Private islands hitting the market aren’t limited to European shores — a couple of years later, a similarly secluded retreat in South Carolina was listed for $29 million, offering a taste of island seclusion on the other side of the Atlantic.
