When you truly want separation from your noisy (or nosy) neighbors, a tall fence won’t do the trick. Instead, we suggest looking for private islands.
An island of your very own creates a deep, watery barrier between you and the rest of civilization.
Contrary to what pop culture tells us—paging Dr. Evil—owning a home on a private island isn’t the exclusive privilege of billionaires or even millionaires. We scouted private islands currently for sale and even found a few options under $1 million.
