Private Welsh island with 19th century fort goes on the market
An island with a renovated fort in Wales, United Kingdom, has recently gone on sale for $4 million.
Originally designed to house 100 men, the restored propertycan today sleep up to 20 people in its five plush bedrooms, while other living spaces include grand dining rooms and terraces sheltered by barrack-style walls. Back then, the fort – protected by law due to what’s known as a Grade II listing– had no windows or utilities and was waterlogged, but Conner said hewas fascinated and seized the opportunity to undertake a once-in-a-lifetime restoration. The substantial investment included a £300,000 ($400,000) outlay on renewable energy – such assolar panels and battery storage – and a biodigester system for wastewater, which allow the off-grid fort to be completely self-sufficient, he said.
