Tiny UK island with secret tunnels, cannons and a wildlife reserve is up for sale (Image: Getty) Drake's Island, the iconic Plymouth landmark, is back on the market a mere five years after its last sale for a hefty £6million. The current owner, Morgan Phillips of Plymouth Sound Properties Ltd, is ready to part with the 6.4-acre island and is inviting prospective buyers to make their offers.
This historic island, complete with fortifications and approved plans for a luxury 43-bed hotel, is being touted as a site with "many potential alternative uses". Phillips, who took ownership in 2019, has since opened the island for various activities including tours, events, and even film shoots. Ambitious plans were unveiled by Phillips just 18 months ago, which included the development of not one, but two hotels, alongside a museum, heritage centre, and facilities dedicated to wellness.
He also envisioned collaborations on environmental and marine initiatives. Back in 2020, he estimated the total investment for the island's development to be between £17million and £22million, factoring in the purchase price, which was initially guided at £6million. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
