10 ISLANDS NOBODY WANTS TO BUY FOR ANY PRICE
Own an island? Awesome! Talk about living the dream life, right? Except who can afford something like
that? Movie stars, business tycoons, you know, the kind of billionaire most people wish upon a shooting
star they might one day become. Guess what? We’ve got a secret. You don’t have to be rich to own an
island. Anyone can get their hands on one, and it won’t cost you an arm and a leg.
One warning though. Owning an island isn’t everything it’s cracked up to be. Sure, it sounds exciting and
adventurous, but there are a lot of hassles and headaches that go along with it. Some islands come with
more headaches than others.
However, fair warning, while some places might suffer from natural issues such as a high tide or just the
lack of accessibility options, others have a dark past or come with a lot of hidden costs. Well, to find out
more, here are 10 islands nobody wants to buy for any price!
10. Pitcairn Island
Even if you can’t afford to buy your own Pacific Island, the next best thing is to just live on one for free,
and although it sounds too good to be true, such an offer does exist!
Pitcairn Island is in the Pacific, and authorities are BEGGING you to live there. The mutineers of HMS
Bounty were the first inhabitants. Despite being only two square miles, the land is plentiful, and the
weather is always good with the temperature remaining above 17 degrees Celsius all year round.
The Government even provides settlers with a free plot of land to build on. Yet no one wants to go
there, and its population has now shrunk to less than fifty.
Perhaps one reason could be the 2004 child abuse scandal that became headline news around the world
and led to 6 of its inhabitants being imprisoned. Perhaps another is that there are no jobs, only one
general store, and you have to place food orders three months in advance. Supplies come from New
Zealand, more than 3,000 miles away. It also costs 5,000 New Zealand dollars – which is about 3,383 US
dollars – and 3 days each way to get yourself there in the first place. Apart from that, the environmental
problems across the Pacific region is another issue.
9. Getters Island
If you don’t want to get away from it all and fancy an island nearer to civilization, how about Getters
Island? It is a pleasantly wooded island situated in the Delaware River just a hundred yards from the
town of Easton. It seems to be a bargain for only $150,000, but there’s a catch.
The ghost of one Charles Getter haunts the island. He brutally murdered Margaret Lawall – his pregnant
wife – just outside Easton in 1833. After a quick trial where the jury took a whole ten minutes to find
him guilty, he was sentenced to death by hanging. Such was the publicity surrounding his crime that this
island was chosen to stage his execution so the crowd of 20,000 could witness the hanging from the
riverbank at Easton.
Unfortunately, it didn’t go to plan. During the first attempt, the rope snapped, and Getter fell to the
floor and had to wait twenty minutes before the scaffold was made ready. He expired at the second
attempt. A bit of an extreme way to get an island named after you. Anyways, if all of that does not
bother you, go ahead, get that piece of land for yourself and build your own luxury retreat.
8. Little Rocky Island
How about a Canadian island residence just off the coast of Nova Scotia for only 98,000 Canadian
dollars? It’s eight acres of beautiful mature pine forest, has a white sandy beach that runs right. around
it, and it’s in a sheltered location.
Protected from inclement weather, its warmest month is August with an average temperature of 16
degrees Celsius. The coldest is February when it drops to minus 8 degrees Celsius. Although there’s no
existing property on the island, it is ready for development. However, if you’re wanting to by yourself an
island there’s just one slight problem, despite its name, Little Rock Island is only an island at high tide.
When the tide goes out a strip of land connects it to the mainland.
Perhaps the reasonable price tag reflects that Little Rock is only a part-time island. And well for that
matter, nobody is ready to buy it!
7. Fort Carroll
Fort Carroll is an abandoned fort, built in the middle of the Patapsco River during the American Civil War
to protect the approach to Baltimore. By 1921, it was abandoned and stayed that way until 1958 when it
was sold to a private developer who saw a business opportunity by turning it into a tourist attraction
complete with a casino, hotel and restaurants.
