Private Islands for sale
Is day-to-day life wearing you down? Are you sick of traffic jams, noisy neighbours, pollution and the stresses of modern life? Perhaps you just want to walk around naked without the neighbours looking at you strangely?
The answer is right in front of you - simply buy one of the many islands for sale!
There are literally thousands of private islands for sale around the globe, ranging from small undeveloped rocks in far flung locations, to luxurious private fiefdoms in tropical tax havens.
Understandably, the price you pay for these islands also differs a great deal with the most basic islands for sale costing less than $50,000, whilst the more prestigious can set you back tens, and in some cases, hundreds of millions of dollars. (Bear in mind that you may find it difficult to get a mortgage for many private islands for sale due to a lack of comparable sales for valuation purposes, so it’s best if you instead use the excess cash that is no doubt cluttering up your bank accounts.)
Remember, the very nature of an island means that you will need to have everything delivered to your island by boat or helicopter. Everyday essentials including caviar, champagne and poodle shampoo will need to be kept on hand in sufficient quantities to avoid running out at inconvenient times.

Remember, you get what you pay for – electricity, water, and waste disposal all need to be developed, and with some of the smaller islands there isn’t necessarily a site on the island suitable for building.
You could always put up a tent I suppose, and for many who are simply looking for some peace and quiet, that’s probably enough.
