The absurd private island for sale for 300,000 euros
Off the coast of Maine, not far from the American city of Portland, lies an island with a bizarre name: Duck Ledges Island. It has a small part of the cliff, a view of the open sea and the other islands of the US archipelago, but above all it has a special feature: it is sold at a bargain price.
This small island costs so little that word spreads like wildfire. A private island in the United States with crystal clear seas and fantastic views for the price of a two-bedroom apartment? Is it really possible? Oh well.

In fact, the price of the island is 339,000 dollars, or 315,000 euros. The price of a two-room apartment in cities like Rome and Milan. In fact, depending on the region, you can find a studio apartment for this price in many Italian and European cities.
The island on the Atlantic coast is very close to the rest of the coast, which makes it convenient and accessible and, moreover, a detail that should not be emphasized, is part of a beautiful natural park. Large cities such as Portland and Boston are a few hours’ drive away. Or in Canada Saint John.

Over time the island has changed and improved greatly. The owner, who originally wanted to sell it, then decided against it. This piece of natural paradise should only be placed in the hands of those who truly appreciate it. Among other things, he built a beautiful wooden house.
It would be, to use the English word, a “cottage”, i.e. a large and comfortable country house. The interiors are mostly self-built and the quality of the details is clearly visible.
