Dimitri Corti lists private island of Crevan for sale in Venice Lagoon for €5.5 million

Dimitri Corti, the founder and CEO of Lionard Luxury Real Estate, is marketing the private island of Crevan for €5.5 million. Located approximately 7.5 kilometers from mainland Venice, the 5,700 square meter property offers views of the neighboring islands of Burano, Torcello, and Murano. The island features a restored Napoleonic-era fortress, which was converted into a 215 square meter residence. This home maintains a mid-20th-century layout and includes four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The property also includes gardens with fruit and ornamental trees, an internal canal with two boat moorings, a dockyard, and a helipad. Historically, the site was developed under French rule in 1806 to strengthen the northern shoreline of the Venetian Lagoon. It was later reinforced by the Austrians and eventually became part of the Kingdom of Italy in 1866. After a period of abandonment, the fort was converted for residential use. Corti stated that the island provides a sense of separation from the city while remaining close to it, offering a combination of landscape, privacy, and history.
