Location: Melody Key, FloridaPrice: $6.9 million

With pristine views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Florida Keys, this peaceful and relaxing home offers just what youd want in a magnificent, tranquil escape: Its perfectly located for everything from kayaking to paddle boarding to fishing, this luxury property sits on its own 5.24-acre private island.

Whats more, the home and islands energy needs are exclusively met by solar power, with a backup generator to boot. But just because its off the grid doesnt mean you have to make compromises. This system is sophisticated, said Bob Cardenas, of Engel & Vlkers Florida Keys. This retreat offers everything youd expect in a beautiful, high-end resort home.

The island is accessible by ferry, and with its own dock, boat lift, and space for parking, the property strikes a perfect balance between peaceful isolation and accessibility.

From the foyer on the ground level, an elevator serves this raised three-story house, leading to the bedrooms on the second floor and large open spaces for living and entertaining on the third. As stunning as the views are from the third floor and the houses many decks, a spiral staircase leads to an incomparable, 360-degree view of the island, the surrounding area, and the ocean from the observation deck above.
