It doesn’t quite put the “real” in real estate, but this island paradise listing does a good job at “reel” estate.
Netflix’s new “Knives Out” mystery flick, “Glass Onion,” centres around a 10.5ha island compound in Greece, which has been listed for sale on the real estate website Zillow for a whopping $450m (AU$651.3m).
But sometimes things are too good to be true — and in this instance, the eye-catching listing is actually a promotional advertisem*nt for the Netflix movie — seemingly something cute for listing sleuths to stumble upon while surfing their phones during their holiday downtime.

The multimillion-dollar home on Piscesh*te Island are fictional, with the film actually shot in Greece at the Amanzoe resort, with the Glass Onion CGI’d into the top of the villa.

But if you’re a super-fan of the film and want to close your eyes and imagine yourself in a murder-mystery situation, you can find yourself in the midst of some luxurious surroundings.
Cheekily listed for $450m (of which a Netflix subscription will cost a lot less), photos of the property show inside the extravagant island commune, The Post reports.
Not pictured, however, is anyone from the movie’s cast — including Daniel Craig, Janelle Monáe and Edward Norton.
Featuring a total of 17 bedrooms and 22 bathrooms, the glass onion-topped property is located on the Aegean Sea, and spans nearly 2,700 sqm.

With breathtaking water views, what is pegged as a “private island oasis” has been designed and curated by Alpha Industries founder, Miles Bron, the listing notes. Bron is actually the character played by Norton in the film.
The movie centres around Bron, a tech billionaire, who invites his friends for a getaway on his private Greek island.
When someone turns up dead, Detective Benoit Blanc — played by Daniel Craig — is put on the case.
“Sleek architecture and sophisticated design with an equal eye toward nature and extravagance provide an unparalleled luxury living experience accessible only by boat and crowned by a Glass Onion atrium,” the listing adds.
