An anonymous donor paid for Bruce and Narcene Campbell to be evacuated from the Bahamas to Wilmington, NC after Bruce suffered a stroke.

The largest private island in the Bahamas is for sale as demand for beachfront properties in the age of remote work continues to increase.

St. Andrews, also called Little Ragged Island, will be up for auction on March 26 with no minimum opening bid and a current list price of $19.5 million, according to Concierge Auctions, as reported by Mansion Global.

The southernmost island, with 730-acres of white sand beaches and views of the Atlantic ocean, has more than 30,000 feet of shoreline and is a 10-minute boat ride away from Duncan Town nearby. The listing boasts "miles of private beaches to wander or a boutique resort with more than enough acreage to add an entire 18-hole golf course."
