The 103-acre Loch Lomond island, bought for $2.2 million in 2020, is now listed for about $4 million, with a completed home option at $13.5 million.
Jones and his wife Kirsty Young secured planning permission for a lodge and boathouse, overcoming wildlife concerns and ensuring minimal environmental impact, including protection for the island’s famous wallabies.
The island, accessible only by boat and designed by GRAS Architects, is marketed as a rare European private retreat, reflecting Jones's shift in priorities following his cancer recovery.
