The island of 2500 sq.m. in the Venetian lagoon is for sale for € 8 million. In the 16th century in the Lagoon there were built five octagonal military islands to protect Venice from attack from the sea. Island L'Ottagono agli Alberoni until the Second World War remained a military base, after the war was bought by a private buyer, and now put up for sale by his heirs.
On the island is located 10-room house with an area of over 400 square meters, additional buildings, a chapel, a small square and a large amount of greenery. From the island, and in particular from the terrace of a big house (100 square meters) offers great views of the lagoon, the island is located near the channel Malamocco not far from Lido island (about 35 minutes on vaporetto).
Also in a few steps is situated the infamous Poveglia island, one of the five octagons on the water - according to the legend and to many impressionable visitors, the island is inhabited by ghosts so thick, like no other place in Italy.
According to the realtor companyб the interest for the purchase goes mainly from abroad, especially from Russia.
