Petra Island is located in the middle of Lake Mahopac, just 50 miles north of New York City.  A source told the British tabloid the 38-year-old actress was particularly interested in buying the island after learning its two sprawling properties were designed by Pitt’s favorite architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. 

The home features, among other things, a spacious kitchen, mahogany-paneled ceilings, panoramic views of the surrounding area and skylights which provide plenty of natural light.

The source told The Mirror, “As soon as Angelina heard the island was on the market she arranged a viewing.  She was really impressed.  The house is perfect for romantic getaways or as a family retreat…It’s very private.  And Angelina knows the fact the island is in the shape of a heart will mean so much to him.”

As romantic as the whole thing may sound, however, Petra Island’s owner told Extra that the power couple has never even been to the island — which is still for sale.

Jolie is currently in Australia until December directing Unbroken.  The film chronicles the life of Olympic runner Louis Zamperini, who was taken prisoner by Japanese forces during World War II.
