Kylie To Sell House On French Island



Kylie Minogue is selling the French Island retreat where she spent time recovering after her breast cancer surgery in 2005.

The four-bedroom property on French Island, a two-hour boat trip from her Melbourne hometown, is expected to go for 2 million Australian dollars (1.8 million US dollars).

The family has spent close to 1 million dollars on the retreat, including planting 1,000 trees.

French Island has no piped water, electricity or gas, although several environmentally friendly innovations have been made by the Minogues, including solar and wind power installations. It is served by a ferry that runs services to the mainland.

The decision to sell came as a shock to the island’s 80 permanent residents, who seemed to love their celebrity star neighbour.
