After spending years and millions transforming a 19.77 acres underdeveloped island in the Exumas, Bahamas, into a spectacular resort-like destination, music power couple Faith Hill and Tim McGraw have placed the island on the market, according to a CNBC report.
The island, which Hill ad McGraw renamed Lâile dâAnges, is on the market for $35 million.
The couple bought the island, known then as Goat Cay back in 2003.
The listing is represented by Edward de Mallet Morgan, of the London-based luxury real estate broker and partner at Knight Frank.
In the listingâs web page, the island is described as âa private island like no other. A safe haven paradise, providing perfect tranquility, nestled within pristine turquoise waters. Heaven on earth.â

PLP leader: If govt had just listened to me, we may not be where we are
NASSAU, BAHAMAS Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Leader Philip Brave Davis yesterday lambasted the government for what he said was a lack of action and failure to engage a local company to supply vaccines for the country amid the third wave of the coronavirus.
Daily cases have continued to rise over the last two weeks and officials have indicated that more contagious variants of the virus likely arrived in The Bahamas since last month and have contributed to some extent to the increase in COVID cases.
Today, ravaged by climate change, pollution and overfishing, they are ghosts of what they once were

Slides from Tom Goreau s family s science photo archive (Tom Goreau) comments
While making the documentary
Ground War, I met marine biologist Tom Goreau. We dove the reefs of Great Guana Cay in The Bahamas to study the impact of a newly built golf course on the coral ecosystem. At the time, Goreau told me about his family s unique photo archive, stored in the attic of his century-old house, between MIT and Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass.
His grandfather, Fritz Goro, was a Life magazine photojournalist who travelled to Bikini atoll during the atomic bomb tests in the 1940s and 1950s, taking photos of the effects of nuclear radiation on marine life. It was there he discovered the beauty of coral reefs and built an underwater camera to document the incredible ecosystem, taking some of the world s first pictures of them.
