A blue lagoon paradise, set in the crystal clear waters of French Polynesia, will be up for auction with Concierge Auctions next month. <\/p>\n
Motu Tiano, a private island, went on the market Saturday for $11.88 million, but bids at its Aug. 23 auction will start at $6 million, said Cindy Johnson, project sales manager for the property at Concierge Auctions. The secluded island is only a five minute boat ride away from bustling Raiatea, one of the largest Society Islands, with many shops and restaurants, according to the listing. <\/p>\n
The 1,800-square-foot main house is fitted with classical Polynesian-style furnishings and amenities. There are three bedrooms, a loft and one bathroom. <\/p>\n

The 17-acre sanctuary is ideal for a family thats really into outdoor activities, said Ms. Johnson. <\/p>\n
Around the island there are deep waters to accommodate a 40- to 60-foot boat, a shallow reef for snorkeling, and great surfing conditions, she said. <\/p>\n
One of the highlights of the property is the outdoor dock, featuring a boat house with gear for water sports. <\/p>\n
The island has only had three owners, and the current owner has had the property for 18 years, Ms. Johnson said. <\/p>\n
Concierge Auctions did not give the current owners name and its not clear why he or she is selling the island now. <\/p>\n
