Want A Different Investment? These Six Private Islands Are Worth Considering, The Price Is Cheaper Than Apartments In Europe

JAKARTA - Instead of buying apartments in popular European cities, there's nothing wrong with investing by buying a private island. Yes, private island.

Having a private island, with a beach and boat dock, year-round sunshine and away from the hustle and bustle, is a dream for many. However, not many are lucky enough to make it happen.

The six private islands below are relatively cheaper than apartments in Europe. The islands below are featured in Private Island Magazine, home to one of the largest exclusive island databases in the world.

Big Tancook Island located in Nova Scotia, Canada for 56,898 euros is actually on the market as an island package, meaning you can buy part of the island for a family complex, hotel or campsite. A great purchase, considering we struggle to find a fair comparison of vacations with just one bed.

This region, which is one of the provinces in Canada, provides a surprising deal for fans of the simple life. Nova Scotia's rocky coastline and large secluded ponds with fishermen, some of whom make up the small group of 125 residents who live there.

What you can get for that price in Europe: One bedroom apartment of 63 square meters in Sunny Beach, Bulgaria for 58,000 euros.

The island which is included in the territory of the State of Connecticut, United States for 263,281 euros, is suitable for those of you who dream of a comfortable log cabin and away from the hustle and bustle.

Spanning about half a hectare above Ashland Pond, buyers of this island will have the privilege of docking and docking their boats in land docks as part of the sale-purchase agreement.

What you can get for that price in Europe: One bedroom property in a gated area of Funchal, Madiera, Portugal for 265,000 euros.

Beaver Dam Lake in the State of Wisconsin, United States is home to fewer than 26 creatively titled islands across its 6,718 acres. Majestic may be one of the less-than-sensible ones, but does it really matter when you're sitting on acres of private island?

Majestic is currently on the market with an off-the-grid lodge in tow, the perfect place to witness the gentle activity of animal life around Beaver Dam. The price offered is very reasonable, 274,982 euros.

What you can get for that price in Europe: One bedroom apartment of 131 square meters in Marbella, Spain for 287,700 euros.

This island in Nicaragua for 292,535 euros, features a two-bedroom guest house, caretaker's house, infinity pool, cement pier and miles of sandy beaches.

It would normally be marketed at a much higher price, given its surface area and Nicaragua's beautiful tropical climate. The reduction comes as the owners make major improvements to the island's features, so lucky future buyers have plenty of new things to look forward to.

What you can get for that price in Europe: One-bedroom flat with a sea view of 51 sqm in Palma Nova, Mallorca for 295,000 euros.

The island in Panama for 336.782 euros is a pity to miss, seeing the completeness and facilities offered. There is a sailing boat mooring, a speed boat garage and a property with two self-contained apartments ready to live in.

It was likely designed with parties in mind, given its added features, a raised deck complete with BBQ, hot tub, lodge, private sandy beach and private clear water swimming lagoon.

In order not to feel too isolated, the island also offers good wifi and phone signal and is only a few minutes' boat ride from a number of bars and restaurants.

What you can get for that price in Europe: A one-bedroom property at Quartier Vernier in Nice, France for 338,000 euros.

The property includes a home with three beds, two bathrooms, a terrace, dining area, bar and living room, as well as staff accommodation. There are also walkways that run around the island and a 28-foot watchtower.
