Is it affordable to live on a private island?
If you’ve ever dreamt about living on your own, private island, it may not be completely unattainable. A recent article from Realtor.com found five properties on their own islands. The price tag ranges from $1.8 million on the high end to $629,000.
The most affordable option on the list is a property in Rangeley, ME. Located on Lake Mooselookmeguntic, the home sits on Bramble Island. This listing also includes a 1-acre buildable lot on the mainland.
The home features two bedrooms, a small kitchenette, and electricity. The only drawback here is that the main home only has an incinerating toilet and an outdoor shower. It doesn’t come with a full bath.
The property itself features a beautiful covered porch, a new dock, and a boathouse. The views are also absolutely stunning and seem to go on for miles.
If you ever wanted your own island, and don’t mind missing out on a full bath, it may be within reach.
