A wealthy tech entrepreneur's attempt to sell a secluded Welsh island for a staggering £3 million has been met with laughter and scepticism from local villagers, who have cheekily nicknamed it the 'Welsh Alcatraz'.
The island, located off the coast of Wales, boasts breathtaking views and a tranquil setting. However, its lack of basic amenities and remote location have made it a tough sell, despite the owner's lofty price tag.
Locals Weigh In
Residents of the nearby village have been quick to poke fun at the situation. One local quipped, 'It's beautiful, but you'd need a boat just to get a pint of milk!' Another added, 'Unless you're planning to open a very exclusive prison, good luck finding a buyer.'
A Tough Sell
Property experts suggest that the island's £3 million valuation is optimistic, given its isolation and the significant investment required to make it habitable. 'It's a niche market,' said one analyst. 'You'd need someone with deep pockets and a love of solitude.'
Despite the challenges, the tech tycoon remains hopeful that the right buyer will come along, drawn by the island's untouched natural beauty and potential for a unique private retreat.
