£1,100,000 private island hits the market — but getting there might be a problem --[Reported by Umva mag]

Fancy a little bit of peace and quiet? A private island has hit the market for $1,500,000 (£1.1 million) – but it’s only accessible by boat or plane.

Nestled on the St Lawrence River in Alexandria Bay in upstate New York, the investment opportunity forms part of the Thousand Islands region – and is located right on the border with Canada.

If you’re wondering how you might get off the island (if you ever want to leave, that is), it also comes with its very own pontoon. Ahoy, captain!

Questioning what you’ll get for your money? There’s already a house on site included in the price, so you won’t need to begin any lengthy permissions processes to build on the land.

The property itself is small, but it does include panoramic views of the turquoise water and accompanying rocky beaches from every single bedroom.

The home measures 2,964 square foot, and features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, decorated with traditional oak wooden detailing, beamed ceilings and a more modern laminate flooring.

Downstairs, there’s an open-plan layout connecting the kitchen, dining room and lounge, the perfect set-up for welcoming guests.

Worried about storage space? There’s a loft complete with cathedral ceilings, posing the possibility for additional room for your clutter, an ambient nook to relax in, or even an extra living space.

The current owners have decorated with a Scandinavian vibe, as the décor is currently largely comprised of wooden furniture and long, cosy rugs.

Fear not, you won’t need to battle with any electricity companies either, as the island is already fully connected to the grid, impressively, via an underwater power line.

There’s also an unlimited supply of freshwater coming through from the river, which the estate agents note makes it both ‘convenient and sustainable.’

‘The water levels are strategically maintained and controlled through a series of precision hydraulic dams ensuring protection in an ever-changing climate,’ the listing, currently managed by Joshua Garner and Mike Fabbri from The Agency, reads.

‘Whether you’re looking for a private getaway or a unique investment opportunity, this island offers a blend of luxury, tranquillity, and adventure in one of the most beautiful locations in the Northeast.’

The local area has no shortage of activities on offer too. The Thousand Islands region itself is home to over 1,800 islands, which forms its namesake, and is characterised by stunning archipelagos.

If you’re wanting to learn more about the local history, a visit to the Antique Boat Museum is a must and exhibits its vintage vessels as well as offering guided boat tours of the region.

The locality is similarly famous for its tipples, with the Thousand Island Winery – the first in the region – offering a range of New York state wines with stunning rural views.

There’s also the opportunity to enjoy dinner by the waterfront at their restaurant, as well as explore multiple acres worth of vineyards.
