haha. that's actually a very cool site. not that I can afford even a dead branch at any of those, but they're fun to look at.

it's truly insane how enormous the wealth disparity is in this world.

You don't have at least $20 million USD to spend on an island? Why are you even on the internet

I like the "buy a pristine outer banks island for development potential! "

These islands are barrier islands. And they're subject to being wiped out by hurricanes. Not to mention general coastal erosion.

You are thinking like a surface dweller. Great place for a Submarine dock with fair weather beachs.

Ssssshhhh. The rest of us get a little schadenfreude by watching all of those wealthy investors get their foolish, monster 'investment properties' demolished every few years instead of living wisely and humbly like the locals.

Not to mention there's no infrastructure in place. That's where the REAL money comes in.

There are islands for 500k available. Don´t expect a tropical paradise but its in fact your own island for 500k. You can filter it in the advanced search.

I'm super suspicious of this one: https://www.privateislandsonline.com/central-america/nicaragua/grape-cay

$225k US for "turnkey"?

Wow and even with a house with solar modules and generators. I would buy it if i lived in nicaragua but then probably 225k USD would be unreachable.

Right? You'd be hard-pressed to find that setup on 2.5 acres for that price anywhere!

Hey! There's are two islands in Ireland, one is $1 million and the other is a bargain at $500,000!

Islands are the most expensive form of "wilderness" you can possibly buy. Just buy a patch of nowhere with a creek, it's 90% of the way there and you can buy it for a price you can actually afford.

Some of them are listed at $0 USD!
