No one wanted to buy this historic house on a private island. An Airbnb guest who paid $1,700 to stay there can see why.
Briefly

A historic home on Magna Carta Island, linked to the 800-year-old charter signed by King John, was recently taken off the market after failing to secure a buyer at the price of £4.5 million (approximately $5.6 million). Owned by a Chinese businessman since 2013, the property served more as an Airbnb rental than a personal residence. While its scenic location on the River Thames and heritage significance appeal to some, the rustic condition of the property was a deterrent for buyers, leading to its market withdrawal.
Nestled on the banks of the River Thames in the village of Wraysbury, Magna Carta Island was taken off the market after failing to attract a buyer.
The rustic home on this private island, tied to British history, was priced at £4.5 million but was withdrawn from sale last year.
