santiago Posted September 7, 2010 A quick glance at this online topic is quite fun and dreamy ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I had a bit of a look around a few sites and saw an island for 12500 US 600metres off the coast of Brasil. Realistically 2million aus might do a very nice island. I mean shit a city condo in perth cbd probably fetches the same. Imagine your tropical ethno paradise, if you have had a hard day at work...or it took you 45 minutes to get home from the typical day to day traffic jam i hope the following link gets you started on your quest for your own island or perhaps just the dream to escape. http://www.privateislandsonline.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PD. Posted September 7, 2010 Was talkin to a guy from the solomon islands a few years ago, he said ya could get an island over his way for next to nothing, less than a house in this area anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FancyPants Posted September 8, 2010 Ooh wow an island in Tonga for around 1millAUD. Just over an acre in title deed size with the rest of the 3 acres essentially crown land/tidal reserve. http://www.privateislandsonline.com/tahifehifa.htm A couple of my uncles lived in Tonga for a little while and they said it was just magic. Really friendly people too. Makes me dread how much of a dickhead one uncle was when over there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

obtuse Posted September 12, 2010 (edited) yeah... i so wanna do it. as a child and teenager, my family had the opportunity to live on islands. and all i can say is its freckin awesome. and given the opportunity i wouldnt hesitate to do it.. if the opportunity comes your way, dont hesitate and go for it. you dont have to buy an island to be able to live on one for a little while. but yes buying one is a worthwhile goal. cheers, Obtuse.

TheFriendlyPlanter Posted September 12, 2010 South pacific islands aren't that great considering all the dangers like malaria, tsunamis, cyclones, Solomans is still a bit dangerous. I'm told South America is the way to go for a nice ethno block, as long as you avoid the dangerous cocaine/kidnapping areas. I hear USA has houses going cheap lately.

shoes Posted September 14, 2010 Islands off Queensland.were.going cheap during the apparent gfc, ill.chuck In for deposit for sure, wild kava also can have a SAB farm to sell fresh legals to pay the island off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderIdeal Posted September 27, 2010 could an island really be an entheo paradise much less an ethno paradise? i don't know anything about growing in coastal situations but i was under the impression only certain plants can handle the salt wind. boo islands i can think of other drawbacks too.

Amazonian Posted September 27, 2010 i was under the impression only certain plants can handle the salt wind. I am sure we can get around that, We will grow a barrier of trees to protect the plants that don't cope well . Our Island is gunna be a big one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
