Brooke Shields | Island

If you think of Brooke Shields as just a pretty face and a sweet leading lady with only beauty products and designer clothes in her mind, think again. There has to be a smart investor underneath those eyebrows. Unlike other private islands located in tropical places around the world, Brooke Shields’ private sanctuary is a rustic wonderland. Emerald Island, located in New York, looks like it had been pulled out of a fairytale. The island is 8.5 acres in size and houses a mansion made of old stone, wood, and brick chimneys.

The house is beautiful all by itself but its surroundings really complete the picture. The Old English ambiance of the place makes it feel like you are far from the busy city. The actress has been residing in it for years. Is this the real secret to her still youthful looks? Being close to nature will make a difference when it comes to one’s mindset, creating a degree of serenity and peace of mind.
