Tim McGraw and Faith Hill list 20-acre private island in Bahamas for $35MIL

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill have listed their 20-acre private island in the Bahamas.

The country music hot couple, who first acquired the land in 2003 and built a sumptuous 6,517 square foot home for themselves on it, are asking $35 million according to the estate agency Knight Frank.

Their home on the island is apparently separated into eight different ‘pods’ around the area, which has the French name ‘L’Ile D’Anges’ meaning ‘Isle Of Angels.’

Heartthrob: In 2017 Tim told Architectural Digest the residence on the island when they first saw it was 'just a little shack'

Looking fab: Faith said she and her husband 'were a little bit naive, possibly' about the process of building their own huge digs on the island, a task that took nine years to complete

Although the island, which has the English name Goat Cay, includes about 1.3 waterfront miles, the lucky residents also have a swimming pool with an Art Deco design at their disposal.

The pool is fringed by porticoes, which are part of a sprawling 5,000 square-foot network of canopied walkways and patios that link all the buildings together.

One of the verandas even has a massive marble bathtub set up on it, so that Faith or Tim can take in a bit of bracing fresh air while cleaning up with a view of the ocean.

The interior design by Ray Booth has a subtropical feel as well, as in the case of one bedroom with a ceiling motif that is comprised of white cross-hatched rafters on exposed wood.

‘It’s essentially a bleached-out white [throughout]; where there is color, it’s pulled directly out of those beautiful Bahamian waters,’ Ray told Architectural Digest in 2017. 

Adding to a feeling of connection to nature, this bedroom opens out onto a long luxurious porch where residents can take in a view of the lush foliage and the ocean.

In fact there are four bedroom suites throughout the property – one of which comes with two ensuite bathrooms inasmuch as it has been specifically designed for use by children. 

One living room has an entire wall that is in fact a glass-paneled roll-up door, so that guests can watch TV and warm themselves up by the fire while a sea breeze wafts in.

The effect was on purpose, as Faith told Architectural Digest: ‘We wanted to feel connected to the outside. When the breeze comes through the room, it’s just life-changing. It really is! It’s something for the soul.” 

Tim dished that ‘we wanted it set up so that when we brought people down, they’d get the same feeling that we got when we first came. The same reaction to the pristineness of it, to how relaxed it feels. The house is functional, but it really blends into the environment.’

A couple of permanent tents are set up on an attractive wooden deck overlooking one of the narrow beaches that comprise some of the water frontage.

Three separate houses have been set up for staff – which along with such amenities as mechanical storage space is a part of the 6,000 square feet of extra buildings apart from the main residence.

Of course a long private deck is also available for the owners and their guests, with three quays facilitating boating trips such as one that allowed Tim to show off his hunky torso for Instagram in 2016.

Faith and Tim got married in 1996 and have welcomed three daughters into the world – Gracie, 23, Maggie, 22, and Audrey, 19 – all of whom were born before their parents bought their island.

When they were interviewed for Architectural Digest Tim said that the residence on the island when they first saw it was ‘just a little shack’ put there by people Faith described as the owner’s ‘friends.’

Faith said she and her husband ‘were a little bit naive, possibly’ about the process of building their own huge digs on the island, a task that took nine years to complete.

‘We set out to build a house. We had no idea we had to build everything else. We basically had to build a little town,’ the songbird confessed with a chuckle.

They turned to architects Bobby McAlpine and Greg Tankersley to design the sensational five-bathroom four-bedroom property that eventually came to be.

Tim revealed that they realized they had ‘to have staff houses,’ as well as that they had to figure out ‘infrastructure’ and how to supply the place with power and water. 

Bobby had to consider: ‘What does paradise look like for a couple of creative people like them?’ and ‘I thought, In paradise, you live in ways you can’t live in civilization. So every room is a separate building.’

Tim spilled that he and his family were banned from visiting the island during the last months of construction and ‘It was killing us!’ as they waited in suspense.

‘And when we finally got down there, it was early evening, and the landscaping was done and the house was furnished and open and there were candles lit, and it just took our breath away,’ he gushed. 

‘It still does every time we go there. Every time we land the plane and walk onto the beach and head up to the house, we turn to each other and say: “This is the best place in the world.”‘
