Private islands. They're the stuff of real estate fantasies; the thing everyone says they'll snag when they hit the jackpot; the paparazzi-free dwelling of celebrities like Johnny Depp, Tyler Perry, Leonardo DiCaprio,Brad and Angie (sniff!), and—obviously—Oprah.
But—if you've got $12.5 million at the ready—you too can join this elite club with Sipson Island, located off the eastern coast of Cape Cod.

At nearly 25 acres and comprising nine different sized parcels, the entirely private island—lined by beaches of Pleasant Bay, a premiere boating and fishing destination—includes several year-round and seasonal dwellings (including a seven-bedroom, four-bath main house) two boathouses, and three docks that allow for deep water boat access to the Atlantic, according to the listing, which also adds that this is the first time the island has been for sale in its entirety "in generations."
While most private islands tend to be in the middle of nowhere, Sipson is less than 90 miles from Boston and a short drive from airports in Hyannis, Chatham, and Cape Cod's lively Provincetown.While the island is only accessed via boats, there's parking right at the dock. For avid golfers, Sipson is minutes from the five-star Wequassett Resort and Golf Club and the famed Eastward Ho Golf Course by boat.
