In the tropical real-estate sweepstakes, 12.5-acre Hopkins Island near Big Pine Key wows on all fronts. Located about 2.5 miles offshore, it rests in an upscale area between Long Beach Estates and the exclusive Little Palm Island Resort, which covers a private isle where Harry S. Truman once vacationed.
Only 25 minutes from Key West and easily reachable from Miami, this island estate not only offers seclusion but also convenient access to international airports. The spectacular snorkeling and scuba diving of Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary, part of the only living coral barrier reef in the U.S., is just minutes away. And for anglers, the area's sport fishing receives top marks.
What really sets Hopkins Island apart from its Keys companions are the conveniences you'll find within its sandy terrain. Whether you choose an arrival by air or sea, Hopkins accommodates; an interior basin with extensive dock space provides a haven for boats away from waves and storms, while a grassy inland area has ample room for a few helicopters to land.
Mangroves cling to the periphery of Hopkins Island, creating a barrier against prying eyes and paparazzi, but a natural cut leads to the inland harbor and there's also a lovely slice of beachfront. The center of this residential-zoned island shelters a three-story, four-bedroom home that's ready for a new owner—no construction necessary.
