“That wasn’t anything new. It just
progressively got worse, because why
would you sell your second home
(during a pandemic), and why wouldn’t
you want one right now?”
Like Northen, Sutton said most of
her clients are cash buyers, but the low
interest rates make financing more
attractive.
Figure Eight Island is known to
be frequented by VIPs. Among the
celebrities reported to have leased and
rented there are Dustin Hoffman, Dan
Aykroyd, Kim Basinger, Alec Baldwin,
Gwyneth Paltrow, Tom Cruise, Nicole
Kidman, Jennifer Aniston, Robert
Downey Jr., Macaulay Culkin, former
Vice President Al Gore, and the band
OutKast. TV star Andy Griffith once
owned a home on the island.
The home at 188 Beach Road South,
which sold in October 2020 for $5
million after sitting on the market for
about four years, also has some celebrity.
The 9,000 sf home, built in 1987 on 7.9
acres at the island’s extreme south end,
was designed by the late J.P. Goforth
and was the background for the 2016
Julia Roberts thriller Sleeping With the
Enemy. The house, fitted with marble
throughout, languished on the market
in part because some of its acreage is
not actually Figure Eight Island, but is
West Part Tract 3 Hutaff land.
