'James Bond Island' on the Market

Okay, maybe it is not Pesce Spada Island, but at least it has a "private" coral reef...

The longtime retreat of late James Bond author Ian Fleming, Goat Island, has just come on the market for $8 million. The 10-acre island sits in warm Caribbean waters about a mile from the shores of tiny Tobago. It comes with a two-story, West Indian-style villa done in cheerful yellow and blue. Perched next to a pocket-sized beach, it includes three bedroom suites, a large kitchen and a reception area. For guests, there are two one-bedroom guest apartments on a small hill.

A spectacular coral reef lies just off the island, and Fleming is said to have gone diving for an hour each morning when he was in residence. Included in the price is a 5,600-square-foot boat house parcel on the mainland; the island features a stone and concrete pier for landing.
