In the market for an island and have nowhere to park your helicopter? A private, 26-acre sanctuary in the Florida Keys with a tennis court that doubles as a helipad can be yours for $110 million.

Put on the market this week, Pumpkin Key is a part of an exclusive community called the Ocean Reef Club and is located about an hour from Miami.

Announced by the club’s residential real estate firm, Russell Post Sotheby’s International Realty, the island comes with rows and rows of palm trees and bougainvillea, golf cart paths and a dozen lots that could be developed as small homes for families.

Buyers can also dock their mega-yacht at the island’s 20-slip marina or drop in by helicopter using the tennis court as a helipad.

The main home, meanwhile, faces west so that families can catch nightly sunsets and comes with a swimming pool, two cottages, a boat captain’s apartment and a private office.

The seller is also throwing in a single-family residence on shore within the Ocean Reef community.

But not all islands come at million-dollar price tags.

Over at privateislandsonline.com, a one-acre island lot in Maine called Chandler Island has an asking price of $40,000.
