It looks like a backdrop for Jack Sparrow to sail toward, but this pirate island was actually built by an eccentric millionaire on his English country estate.
Situated in the middle of a lake, it includes a working pub named The Black Doubloon, a boat dock, a waterfall and a beach. Coffer Cabin even contains a specially designed pirate bed.
The owner has not been named, but he is under 40 and is said to have been inspired by “his love of all things pirate." He commissioned the construction of Challis Island on his 60-acre Cambridgeshire estate in 2011 and was said to be “over the moon” with the result. He apparently bought himself a pirate costume and is preparing to live like his idols in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise (the films in which Johnny Depp plays Sparrow.)
The island, built three feet above the lake from scratch, also includes landscaping features such as a beach, stream, a lagoon and a waterfall. It was built by The Master Wishmakers, who specialize in making wealthy clients' dreams come true without using "plastic imitation theme park trickery."
