Private island asking price could be Keys record

A 26-acre private island that includes a membership to the Ocean Reef Club is for sale at what is said to be a record asking price for the Florida Keys of $95 million. Russell Post, a broker and president of Ocean Sotheby’s International Realty, said the island, known as Pumpkin Key, is “one of the finest trophy properties, perhaps globally.” He said the price tag is the highest ever in the Keys. The island also includes a membership and a home at the gated community of Ocean Reef Club with more than 100 feet of dockage. Post said this is what makes the property so desirable. It has all the privacy of the island, but not so much that society cannot be reached by a quick four-minute boat ride to the club or 10-minute helicopter flight to South Beach.
