We’re well aware of your affinity for private islands. Anytime one of these rare gems pops onto the market, clicks soon follow.

So we weren’t surprised when a private island in the middle of Minnesota’s Bald Eagle Lake captivated real estate watchers this week. Surrounded on water on all four sides, and topped with a luxe mansion, the isle just north of the Twin Cities is the most popular property this week on Realtor.com®.

And there’s plenty of houses stuffed onto this 2-acre speck of land. The massive, 9,414-square-foot home features a whole-house audio system, a professional home theater with a starlit ceiling, and high-end appliances. It’s offered fully furnished and even includes a Hovercraft, so you can explore the lake at your leisure.

Stepping off the island, you also clicked on a lakeside home in Michigan with its own dedicated indoor pool room, a famous—and very expensive—manor back on the market in Los Angeles, and a storybook beauty in Connecticut.
