It’s the ultimate in seclusion in the middle of North Central Florida: a private island in the middle of St. Johns River near Lake George.
In addition to the seclusion, we’re in love with the swine-based name. On the market for $7.45 million, Hog Island is far from a sty.
Marketed as “the largest private island for sale in the state of Florida,” the property comes with a helipad, three cabins, as well as a small home plus a parcel of land on the mainland. Usable acreage depends on the weather and the river.
“The island itself consists of 220 acres, and there are some wetlands throughout the island, so at different times of the year or if there is a storm, the water may come up. To the seller’s knowledge, the cabins have never been flooded,” says listing agent Carl Lilavois, who’s with Keller Williams Realty.
The island offers biking and walking trails, but the real attraction is the verdant surroundings.
“It is jaw-dropping just seeing how much land is out there—and how much wildlife is actually out there,” Lilavois says.
“The seller started purchasing the parcels in 2009 and bought the final ones in 2013,” he says. “His phrase was, ‘You either own a whole island or you don’t.’”
In total, the offering consists of five structures and 224 acres.

A historic structure on the mainland that Lilavois says is the oldest schoolhouse in Putnam County is included in the sale. It’s used as a “reception center” for guests ready to embark on their journey to Hog Island.
The cabins are all equipped with full kitchens and amenities such as Wi-Fi, phone, and electricity.
“They all have been redone as of 2012 and 2013,” Lilavois says. “One of the cabins on the far side of the island has its own boat access to it.”
