Allen: not that I'm seriously considering buying such islands, but even if I were, after the purchase I'd have no money left to build a palace! Heck, I wouldn't have any money left to buy the canoe to get me to the island!
And anonymous: no, I'm looking for a place to displace President Clinton to should she ever take office :-) We can think of it as Elba--and if that doesn't work, we'll try St. Helena.
I'd prefer you pick an island with deep water mooring facilities. That would, of course, include electircal and water hook-ups and perhaps a swim up bar. When I motor over to visit I don't want to be roughing it! We're off to anchor at one of our favorite islands in the Bay, Angel Island for the weekend. By the way, I'm still planning the Alaska cruise.

Wow. People can actually own islands? Anyway, I'd say the second.
Nova Scotia...I like the trees! :)
Check out his entire site. This guy is the world's best-known "island salesman".
I might could afford those two islands. He has others around the world for 10s of millions of dollars. Slightly out of my price range.
Fine. What about the other one? It's in a lake :-)
Looking for a place to displace once President Clinton takes office in 2008?

So if you buy an island, is it like your own country? lol
Also, how does this guy sell them off in the first place?
No, it wouldn't be my own country. I'd still have to pay property (and any other) taxes to whatever political jurisdiction the island falls under.
And Vladi is a real estate agent, and islands are just a specific type of real estate.
So an island is just treated as property of whatever country it belongs to?
Sure, just like any other piece of land.

Captain, judging from the locations, neither of these islands appears to have any utilities currently. I'd probably have to set up a generator.
I like the trees on the second one, but the first one has sheep (there's an investment, if you're willing to put up with the stink and the mess).
If the sheep come with the island, go with the first one. If not, I'd take the second one just for the trees.
