Is there actual REQUIRED upkeep though or could you say fuck it, and go ashore with a tent, row boat and the freshwater and food required for a week?
Comment on I'm interested. Any ideas?

Definitely out of reach for the rest of us.

Living in Kentucky, we have a lot of mountainous land that’s kinda useless for anything except hunting and camping.
Not uncommon to know people who bought a few acres out in the hills for the price of a used car and just camp out there. Lots of folks also sell hunting leases to make enough money to cover taxes or pay it off.

I knew a guy with the shittiest private island. He said it cost him $20,000 USD its in Canada, had enough room for a cabin that was just a shed with a queen mattress in it and a boat dock.
He showed me a video of him trying to enjoy it in summer and it was just CONSTANT heavy winds. He said he had to soundproof the cabin and goes there to read and write. If he wants to feel the wind he has to wear hearing protection and a jacket no matter the time of year.
I never thought I’d feel bad for someone who owns an island. Still first world problems galore, but $20k is very affordable for a piece of land.
