What Is It Like to Live in Indian Creek Village?

The island was an uninhabited mangrove until 1928, when a group of Midwestern businessmen bought it as a real estate venture and laid out the country club and home sites. A single private two-lane road, about 1.6 miles long, runs around the island.

The village has its own government and police. The checkpoint at the bridge turns away non-residents and unauthorized visitors. Because of its residents, the island is often called the Billionaire Bunker.

What to Know Before You Buy in Indian Creek Village

• Access and showings: visitors need clearance at the police checkpoint, so showings are arranged in advance through the listing agent.
