Pakatoa Island, Private island in Hauraki Gulf, New Zealand

The 24-hectare Pakatoa Island features two eastern beaches, one northern beach, and rises to 56 meters above sea level.

The Salvation Army operated the island in the early 1900s as a treatment center for women facing alcohol dependency issues.

The property requires approval from New Zealand's Ministers of Finance and Lands for foreign ownership under the Overseas Investment Act.

The island contains 24 beachside cabins and 38 self-contained units, connected by sealed roads and accessible through a modern wharf.

Actor Russell Crowe worked at the resort during his youth when the island functioned as a tourist destination.
