Live on Richard Branson’s Private Island for $22,500,000

This property is on the market with British Virgin Islands Sotheby’s International Realty.

Live next door to the CEO of Virgin Group, Richard Branson.

Moskito Island is a 120-acre paradise in the British Virgin Islands, located just two miles from Richard Branson's famed Necker Island and a short 30-minute boat ride from Tortola, the nearest international airport.

Home to the Branson Beach Estate, Moskito Island was acquired by Sir Richard Branson in 2007, and was developed with the intention of protecting its natural beauty and creating a community of like minded homeowners, each of whom will own one of nine 3-acre home sites on the island and also have equal shares in the remaining 90 acres of private estate land.

The island’s infrastructure—including paved roadways, underground utilities, a desalination plant, and solar fields—ensures seamless modern living in a tropical retreat.

Moskito Island’s community amenities are just a short walk away. These include estate docks, pools, tennis and basketball courts, a game room, fine dining facilities, and a water sports center. Beyond the developed areas, the island boasts 90 acres of shared land, featuring walking trails, lush gardens, a tropical nature preserve, a thriving flamingo pond, and an animal sanctuary.

Lot 8, known as Lime Tree Bay, is a premier windward-facing property on the south east and west facing shore lines, with its own private beach.

Lime Tree Bay features two charming stone cottages: a two-bedroom, two-bathroom guesthouse and a one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bathroom main house.

Decks and lounging areas provide stunning views of the Caribbean waters, and the property also has a cleared construction site ideal for the development of a single-family private residence.

This beachfront home enjoys a windward facing position on the south east and west facing shore lines, with its own secluded beach.
