Here’s a rare opportunity to buy your own Australian island…. OK so it may be off the coast of Tasmania, but it’s stunning and not too dissimilar to a Scottish Island. You get 1500 acres of development potential on an island called Vansittart Island. The island is one of 52 islands in the Furneaux Group. It is situated in eastern Bass Strait only 7 kilometers by boat from Flinders Island - the largest island in the Group.
Vansittart Island has an interesting historical background. The island was first settled by the sealers in the 1800s. The windjammer “Farsund”, wrecked in 1912, lies 200m off the south east coast.

Sources say:
“The mansion is owned by Saudi prince Bandar bin Sultan, the man at the heart of the £1bn corruption inquiry into BAE Systems, who until last year was Saudi ambassador to the US.
Joshua Saslove, the estate agent handling the sale, told The New York Times that after review by the prince’s lawyers, only 11 viewings of the 1,000 requests to see Hala Ranch have been granted.”
The ranch was apparently built by Prince Bandar in 1991 and includes all the expected bells and whistles of a billionaire’s mansion.
