Offering the luxury of privacy without feeling isolated, Venetian Island Fort comes complete with its own private island features - including a sheltered harbour and mooring facilities - while being just a 20 minute boat ride from the heart of Venice.
The idyllic island was originally a Napoleonic Fort before becoming part of the Kingdom of Italy in 1866.
But now, the once gloomy-looking fort is surrounded by a host of blooming flowers, complete with a breathtaking view of the Venetian Lagoon.
The island's main residence takes shape in the form of a stunning red-brick property which features four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a large living room area.
The property is truly something very special
A spokesperson for Vladi Private Islands, who are listing the island, said: "It is a breathtaking private island in the heart of the Venetian Lagoon.
"It lies very close to Sant'Erasmo as well as to Burano, Mazzorbo and Torcello.
"A fully restored Napoleonic fort stands guard over this island, surrounded by wonderfully well-tended garden and looking out onto the Venetian lagoon.
"Boasting four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a large living room, the property is just a 20 minute boat ride from the bustle of Venice and a further 25 minutes away from the city's airport.
"It was originally a Napoleonic Fort, in 1866 the island became part of the Kingdom of Italy before later being sold to private owners, who restored the fort into a delightful villa with separate caretaker's apartment.
"The property is truly something very special.
"It offers exquisite privacy without feeling isolated and is home to its own sheltered harbour and mooring facilities."
