A Victorian-era sea fort is up for sale in Britain at a cost of $8 million

he fort, located 1 mile off the coast of Portsmouth, was originally built to house 80 sailors as a defense against the French navy. Recently it served as a luxury hotel, but its owner has been forced to sell it due to financial troubles. No Man's Land Fort, as it is known, was built between 1861 and 1880. The fort is constructed largely of granite and is 200 feet long and rises 60 feet from the sea. The fort features 21 themed rooms, two helipads and a heated indoor pool.
