Go for it. It's worth that much in bragging rights, even if you never visit.

If it is like the islands off the coast of Colombia you would need to live on it full time or have a care keeper. Otherwise squatters would move onto it and you would never get them off!

I've been in that area. It's beautiful. There are a lot of scrubby little islands for sale cheap. Problem is that they're mostly mangrove swamp and have no fresh water. So your lifestyle expectations should be modest. Most already come with squatters, so you won't have to bring your own.

Gringoloid,

40K for 0.2 acres? Is that right? How big is that? The size of a large back yard?

Wow! 10 acres! Now that's a piece of island. Good luck with that if you're thinking about it.

Plenty of small islands going for about the same price off the coast of Nova Scotia. Most of them are near Yarmouth, NS.

JS, but that's because it's flippin freezing cold up in Nova Scotia... What is the hottest it ever gets up there.... Can you even survive a winter freeze.... geez..... I'm thinking the abominal snowman will need to move in to keep some warmth in the flippin house...

Yarmouth has a maritime climate which isn't too different from Portland or Boston. Sure it's cold but they don't get a lot of snow. The summers are nice. As for warmth in the house, that's why you've got a woman (or a couple of dogs!).
