If you're in the market for a sweet piece of environmentally-friendly real estate, you have until March 28th to put in a bid on Kylie Minogue's self-sustaining eco-property on French Island. The 4/2 French-style farmhouse is covered up in renewable energy features and organic landscaping. It's every environmentalists dream house -- unfortunately, it's going to run you about $2 million to put your name on the deed.Located just a few miles off the coast of Southern Australia, the island community offers no electricity or water provisions and, reportedly, Minogue spared no expense when in comes to making the place self-sustaining. The Australian-born singer installed a "sophisticated" solar/wind generator system that's housed in an old kiln -- so it looks all pretty. She built her structures with reclaimed timber and Kylie's villa gets its water from giant rainwater collection tanks, which also serve to irrigate her organic vegetable and fruit gardens.
No word on why she's moving, I guess superstars just get tired of their awesome stuff. The island's 80 permanent residents had nothing but nice things to say about Kylie and her people according to this article -- she did donate to the Fire Dept. and community efforts.
