A 23-acre private island located in Florida's Lake Marion, known as Bannon Island, has hit the market for $12 million. This secluded island, situated between Orlando and Tampa, has been on the market for the first time in about 150 years. Owned by the Bannon family for four generations, it features a historic 19th-century home that blends with a modern 5,034-square-foot main house.
The property boasts luxurious amenities, including floor-to-ceiling glass walls, an orangery with lake views, and three additional structures, including a duplex known as the "Dog Trot." Most of the 23-acre island is covered by native forest and wildlife habitat, with fruit groves of Valencia oranges, grapefruit, and guava. The island's secluded location, rich history, and privacy make it an ideal property for conservation, events, or a private retreat.
