Stunning images show the exotic getaway surrounded by clear turquoise water of the Caribbean Sea.

Called Iguana Island, the land mass is seen cloaked with coconut palms and banana trees.

Pictures reveal a three-bed house with a 28ft observation tower.

The island also boasts space for a swimming pool with a dock on the west side of the island which is perfect for fishing.

Located 12 miles off the coast of Bluefields, Nicaragua, the peaceful property will set you back about £377,000.

That is £130,000 less than the average flat price in London, according to Rightmove with one property coming in at £511,594.

What is more appetising about the sale is its bang for its buck - the Central American Island comes with an on-site manager and caretakers.

There is also access to WiFi, phone and TV signal.

The full listing can be viewed on the Private Islands website.

About five years ago, a similar listing in Scotland went on the market for an affordable £250,000.

Other private islands have been up for grabs in recent years but have gone to auction with heftier price tags.

One island in the Bahamas, that includes a golf course, was up for sale for a whopping £14million.
