Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are showing off the vacation home they built on their own private island in the Bahamas. In a new article in Architectural Digest, the couple talks about purchasing the 20-acre island back in 2003 and the process that it took to build their dream home, which they didn’t move into until 2012.  Faith says they basically had to build a “little town” when constructing the home, including providing shelter and utilities for the original construction workers as well as the current caretakers. The family even stayed in a pair of seaside yurts during the decade the home was being constructed, which Hill says was “like camping.”
