Little Green Island Sold for $5.6 Million

Little Green Island, known for inspiring scenes in the Chronicles of Narnia films, has been sold for $5.6 million after being owned by Douglas Gresham, stepson of C.S. Lewis. The auction attracted significant interest, with multiple bidders participating both onsite and remotely, culminating in a sale to a local Mackay family. Gresham purchased the 63-acre island for $2.45 million 15 years ago, and it features a main house, caretaker's cottage, and stunning natural surroundings. The award-winning main residence was designed by renowned architect Tone Wheeler, originally for creative thinker Edward de Bono. This private island, located near Mackay, has never been rented out and has primarily served as a family retreat. The sale marks a return of the island to local ownership after years of foreign possession.
