For anyone who dreams of quitting their job and living in paradise, there’s no fantasy more enticing than the idea of owning your own private island. And according to Official eTA, an online visa application and assistance processing firm, it’s possible—even if you’re not a millionaire. Using data from two private island real estate sites, vladi-private-islands.de and privateislandsonline.com, Official eTA analyzed over 550 islands for sale around the world, then calculated the average cost per acre to determine the least expensive locations around the globe. And according to the study, your own private paradise might be more in reach than you think.
“Our research reveals that a slice of your own paradise doesn’t have to cost a fortune,” says Jayne Forrester, director of international development at Official eTA. “Acquiring your own island gives you the opportunity to build your own personal kingdom—a dream which is more achievable than anticipated.”
Indeed, buying a private island is no longer just something for the rich and famous: The research shows that some islands cost less than a house. Today, the median home listing price in the US is around $245,000, according to Zillow. Sure, private islands that have luxury villas, private beaches and stunning views are expensive, but you can buy the 2.7-acre Round Island in Nova Scotia—in the waters of Lac d’en Bas—for a mere $58,647, while Half Island in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, goes for the $59,024 and includes an Airstream camper shell in the purchase price. Located halfway between New York City and Albany along the Hudson River, the wooded Naomi Island costs $99,000 and is reachable only by boat.
