Ever want to escape the hustle and bustle and embrace remote living? Well, there's Hope, as in the 86-acre Maine island off Portland that comes with pretty much everything.

Hope Island comes with an 11,000-plus-square-foot mansion and a $7.95 million (£6m) price tag.

"Inquires have come in from across the globe," says listing agent John Saint-Amour with LandVest. Developer John Cacoulidis bought the island in 1993 for $1.3 million."He's put $12 million or $13 million into it," says Saint-Amour.

The price includes guest and staff quarters, a boathouse, barns and paddocks, and storage building that can support the duck, geese, chickens and peacocks that call Hope Island home.
