Property prices in Germany are going from strength to strength, with square meter prices soaring to an all-time high in the country’s northern territories. The latest property to attract attention because of its eye-watering price-tag can be found on the island of Sylt – an unassuming cottage with a moss-covered roof and a sad-looking garden which could be all yours for an incredible EUR 11.2 million.
The most-expensive house in northern Germany comprises of a 160 m² property perched upon 200 m² of land – hardly what you’d describe a trophy home. Local estate agent Peter Peters pins the price on the property’s “stunning” location, describing the main draw to be the thought of waking up every day to “picture-perfect views of the mudflats and the stormy seas beyond.”

With a price that works out at a mind-boggling EUR 70,000 per square meter, the Private Island News team would be expecting a lot more bang for your buck than an old cottage with views of mudflats and murky waters. We contacted Hamburg-based island brokers Vladi Private Islands to find out what they could offer us in the same price segment – and couldn’t believe what we discovered…

Why have one island when you can have an island group? For less than the price of the now-infamous cottage on the North Sea coast, you could be the proud owner of a private island group in fabulous Fiji. Boasting five sensational sandy beaches and natural beauty abound, this is the sort of “stunning” scenery the Private Island News team can get on board with.
