The No Man’s Land Fort first grabbed our attention in July and it has yet to be sold.  I guess there are not that many people that want to live a mile away from humanity out in the ocean. If you have a lazy eight or so million sitting in the bank collecting dust and you really hate people, then you might want to consider making the buy. It is an impressive giant donut-like structure that rises sixty feet from the ocean and is protected by massive armored walls. The man-made island sits off the coast of Portsmouth in the United Kingdom, where it was built to defend against the French navy. It could originally accommodate up to eighty soldiers.  It has some serious geek status as it was featured in an episode of Dr. Who.

Since its military days, the No Man’s Land Fort has been renovated, substantially. It was a private residence for a time and later reborn as a luxury hotel, complete with a heated swimming pool, Jacuzzis, 21 themed rooms, two helipads and two restaurants. A bore will supply you with fresh water from the sea bed.  Generators will take care of your electricity. There is also a rooftop garden that must feature some pretty hardy plants and a gym to keep you in shape. It is on the market courtesy of a failed company owner who managed to score himself an eighteen month sentence. It begs the question, why didn’t he hide out in his fort.

Price on Asking, but it was going in July for about $8.2 Million.
