I've always wanted to live off the land, on my own island. There is just nothing like roughing it! LOL.
Maine has the same issue. The purchase price for some of the islands off its coast sounds reasonable (still out of my league), but you have to sink a ton of money into them every years just to keep them going (and do some deep-pockets capital repairs/improvements occasionally, etc.) and the weather is harsh for a good chunk of the year.There are still quite a few private islands with residences available for purchase off the coast of Ireland (And Scotland, I believe). Price-wise they are not so much as you'd imagine... Because of course the upkeep and climate are downers.
Based on what Ancestry.com told me I have enough Scot in me to wear a kilt, but I'm not sure about buying an island. That would be quite the adventure though, eh?There are still quite a few private islands with residences available for purchase off the coast of Ireland (And Scotland, I believe).

That is one heck of a moat.
An example of singular beauty, for sure! Thanks for sharing the picture above with us.
My pleasure. And it is an excruciating feeling, isn't it? I keep wondering why, when the vaccine finally arrives, I just don't move to Umbria.Thanks for the photos. I have just about given up hope of ever seeing an airport again.
Cheers,

Tarzan's lounge...yes, no? Would that be Jane lounging on the floor/netting?
I'm hoping for the day when we know what we don't know versus not knowing what we don't know.My pleasure. And it is an excruciating feeling, isn't it? I keep wondering why, when the vaccine finally arrives, I just don't move to Umbria.
