Osea Island
Written By : Ekow Adjei Mensah


Osea Island, a secluded 380-acre private estate in the Blackwater Estuary near Maldon in Essex, is up for sale with a price tag of £25 million. This island has been a creative haven for several notable artistes, including Stormzy, who wrote his album THIS IS WHAT I MEAN there. The grime artiste's association with the island has undoubtedly added to its allure.

The island's history of attracting high-profile creatives doesn't stop at Stormzy. Rihanna has rented the island for her own projects, showcasing its appeal to artistes seeking inspiration and solitude. Moreover, the island has served as a film location, with notable productions like the 1989 television adaptation and the 2012 film of THE WOMAN IN BLACK being shot there.

Simon Pelling, an estate agent with Fine and Country, is handling the sale. According to Pelling, there has been considerable interest in the island, with several bids already exceeding the guide price of £25 million. Potential buyers are likely to be operators who plan to use the island as a venue, event space, or high-end letting facility, given its current usage.

The island's proximity to London is a significant selling point, making it an attractive option for those who want to be close to the city yet have a secluded retreat. Essex singer Olly Murs got married on the island in 2023, further highlighting its romantic and exclusive appeal.

Stormzy's decision to use the island as a writing retreat for his album speaks volumes about its creative potential. The island's serene and isolated environment likely provided the perfect setting for focused writing and artistic expression.

While the exact details of the sale are still unfolding, one thing is certain - Osea Island's reputation as a haven for creatives will likely drive interest in the property. Whether it will be bought by another artiste or an entrepreneur looking to capitalize on its creative potential remains to be seen.

The island's past productions and celebrity associations make it a unique property with significant cultural value. Its sale could mark the beginning of a new chapter in the island's history, potentially leading to new creative projects and endeavors.

As the sale progresses, fans of Stormzy and potential buyers will be watching closely. Given the interest already shown, it's likely the island will find a new owner who appreciates its history, creative potential, and secluded beauty.
