A cheeky $A7.76 million could buy you an incredible 23-bedroom military fort house complete with helipad, saunas and a pub.
The 4,714 sqm UK property, dubbed No Man’s Fort, contains 23 ensuite guest bedrooms, a seven-bedroom staff quarters, its own restaurant, five themed bars and a traditional English pub.
Listed as a single- family home, the property also boasts a rooftop terrace, BBQ decks and a spa with four treatment rooms.
Just 35 minutes away by boat from Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth or a 20 minute helicopter ride to central London, the property was built in the 1860s by ex-Prime Minister Lord Palmerston to act as a line of defence for Britain.

Located just off the coast of the Isle of Wight, the fort is one of three islands on sale off the coast of Portsmouth, including the Spitbank Fort and Horse Sand Fort – each is available to buy individually or as a group of three.
The military fort was lavishly refurbished in 2015, with nearly $14.5 million spent on the property and Spitbank Fort.

Plenty of space for entertaining
No Mans Fort is just minutes away from the Gunwharf Quays shopping centre on the waterfront in Portsmouth, and a number of restaurants, bars and night clubs – if your private bars and restaurants are doing the trick.
The property is also a short distance away from the Historic Dock Yard, which contains the HMS Victory, HMS Warrior and Mary Rose museum.
The home is on the market through Christie’s International Real Estate.
