Actor Gene Hackman has been in quite a few famous blockbusters, and, as a result, he has made enough money to buy a private island. In 2005, he and his wife purchased Fawn Island, a gorgeous hideaway located twenty minutes from Seattle, Washington.

The 2.3-acre property is back on the market for nearly $3.5 million. In addition to the land, the island also has a 3,514-square-foot main house and a couple of guest houses. The San Juan Islands might not be as tropical as the Bahamas, but they are known for their whale-watching, forests, historical sites, and lively seaside towns like Friday Harbor.
