Channel: BRIGHT SIDE
[4]
just hey you yeah you listen to me are
[9]
you in the market for a private island
[10]
come on we all need our own personal
[13]
getaway plus these prices are unbeatable
[16]
okay fine I make a lousy salesperson but
[20]
there really are whole islands out there
[22]
that you can purchase for a fraction of
[24]
the typical price but the real kicker is
[27]
that nobody wants to buy them
[29]
take for example Piazza busuu Islands
[32]
Brazil price seventy nine thousand five
[35]
hundred dollars for just under eighty
[37]
thousand dollars you can become the
[39]
owner of not one but six islands
[42]
situated on Brazil's Salle Francisco
[44]
River these islands can boast
[46]
picturesque views exciting wildlife and
[48]
even colonial ruins so why hasn't
[52]
anybody grabbed them up yet well the
[54]
reason might lie in the fact that you're
[56]
technically just buying the right to use
[58]
the islands for 99 years
[60]
besides the contract contains a vague
[63]
note that you'll be subject to small
[66]
annual taxes hmm yeah maybe pass on this
[70]
sketchy deal but I've got plenty more
[72]
offers like little Rocky Island Nova
[75]
Scotia Canada price seventy four
[78]
thousand five hundred dollars
[79]
surprisingly this eight acre island is
[82]
still available and if you hurry you'll
[84]
be able to buy it for 75 grand that is
[87]
but given its pretty sandy beaches
[89]
untouched nature and pine trees that
[92]
price point is a steal although little
[95]
rocky island lies in the Atlantic Ocean
[97]
neighboring islands protected from foul
[100]
weather there's no property on the
[102]
island but you can build anything you
[104]
like there as for why is still for sale
[106]
that's a real mystery perhaps the market
[109]
is a little flooded since Canada has so
[112]
many private islands for sale Tillamook
[115]
Island Oregon USA price $50,000 also
[120]
known as terrible Tilly this islands
[123]
nickname speaks for itself well it's not
[126]
technically an island in the traditional
[128]
sense it's basically a rock with a
[130]
single lighthouse on it off the coast of
[133]
Oregon
[133]
initially the island was sold for a half
[136]
a million but that wasn't the only time
[138]
it was for sale so far nobody has been
[141]
enthusiastic enough to buy the place why
[144]
you ask well when you consider the
[147]
tumultuous weather waves they can get so
[150]
high they sweep over the entire island
[152]
and the history that's not short of
[154]
tragedy for those who brave the
[156]
dangerous waters around it then yeah
[159]
Tilley doesn't exactly sell like
[160]
hotcakes Chandler Island Maine USA price
[165]
thirty nine thousand nine hundred ninety
[167]
nine dollars so if you have some extra
[170]
cash you can buy a one acre island with
[173]
a view of picturesque Maine there's a
[176]
little cabin on the island and you can
[178]
theoretically build some other property
[180]
there too if you want
[181]
the only problem is that you know during
[184]
high tide half of the island gets
[186]
submerged underwater as a result the
[189]
tiny territory of the island shrinks
[191]
even more bring a life vest Fort Carroll
[195]
Maryland USA price $31,500 you could be
[201]
the owner of a historic private island
[203]
on one condition you have to restore the
[206]
fort situated on it but it cost you less
[209]
than the average price of a college
[211]
tuition Fort Carroll is an artificial
[214]
island constructed in 1848 what's left
[217]
today is an abandoned hexagonal fort on
[220]
the island that was once crucial for
[222]
defending the city of Baltimore many
[224]
local businesses have made attempts to
[226]
renovate the fort and even turn it into
[229]
a hotel a casino a conference center and
[232]
even a jail however nobody has succeeded
[235]
so far the problem with the island is
[238]
that it's an important Bird Conservation
[240]
site that's home to tons of herons and
[243]
seagulls that's why you can't construct
[245]
or change anything on the island since
[248]
it might spook the birds secondly the
[250]
fortress itself is under the protection
[252]
of the state strict environmental laws
[254]
this makes redevelopment next to
[257]
impossible MacGibbon Island New
[260]
Brunswick Canada price $29,900 in
[264]
Canadian people typically associate
[267]
private islands with some sort of
[269]
tropical paradise but Canada's MacGibbon
[272]
island is nothing like that perhaps that
[274]
explains the super low price tag of 30
[277]
grand for this small plot of land on the
[279]
st. Johns River but it's probably gotten
[282]
more to do with the fact that MacGibbon
[284]
is completely undeveloped one of the
[286]
reasons for this inconvenience is that
[289]
every spring the territory gets totally
[291]
submerged so you can't really build a
[294]
cozy house here because it flowed away
[296]
with the floodwaters but if you like
[298]
camping trips megive an island might be
[301]
a spectacular investment Mont Segur
[304]
Island Australia price free see that
[308]
little string there yeah it's attached
[310]
welcome to a tiny island off the coast
[313]
of Tasmania Australia to be the only
[316]
occupant of this island you don't need
[318]
to buy it or pay rent the tasmanian
[320]
Parks and Wildlife Services offer people
[323]
to live in this remote beautiful
[324]
location entirely free of charge the
[327]
duration of stay is a half a year but
[330]
that should be plenty of time to enjoy
[331]
all the lush greenery breathtaking ocean
[334]
views and your own personal vegetable
[336]
garden as always there's a catch first
[339]
of all this offer is open only for
[341]
couples and both partners should be
[344]
equally eager to go to the island
[345]
besides you'll take care of the property
[348]
and its wildlife as well as maintain the
[351]
equipment in buildings your
[352]
responsibilities will also include
[354]
weather observations and finally there's
[357]
no means of communication with the rest
[359]
of the world that's right no TV no
[362]
internet no cell phone service harsh
[365]
once you're there you can only leave the
[368]
island for emergencies and finally
[370]
finally you can only bring up to seven
[373]
hundred sixteen pounds of supplies with
[375]
you when you arrive yeah pretty strict
[378]
stuff huh
[378]
but hey if you and your spouse are
[381]
looking to escape from the modern world
[382]
for a few months then I say go for it
[385]
okay maybe you don't have tens of
[388]
thousands of dollars to buy even the
[389]
cheapest islands on the market that
[391]
nobody else wants well there are plenty
[393]
of other islands that aren't really for
[396]
sale but you can live there or at least
[398]
visit some of them
[400]
again for one reason or another nobody
[402]
wants to for example there's okunoshima
[405]
Island this place lies approximately two
[408]
miles off the coast of Japan but despite
[411]
such a convenient location nobody lives
[413]
there from 1929 to 1945 there was a
[418]
chemical weapons plant on the island
[420]
that produced poisonous gas yet even
[422]
after the factory ceased to exist no one
[425]
wanted to settle on the island
[427]
in 1988 the okunoshima poison gas museum
[431]
was open and it started to attract
[432]
tourists when he get a free sniff but
[435]
that wasn't the main reason why the
[437]
island started gaining more and more
[439]
visitors it was because the place is
[441]
overcome by rabbits they begun to thrive
[445]
and multiply on the island after the
[447]
factory was closed and these days
[449]
thousands of friendly bunnies will greet
[452]
you if you decide to pay them a visit
[453]
and if you do you should find time to
[456]
stop in at Hashima island dubbed
[459]
battleship island because it looks like
[462]
an old half destroyed battleship Hashima
[465]
is located about nine miles away from
[467]
Nagasaki from 1887 to 1974 there was a
[472]
profitable coal mine on the island more
[475]
than 5000 miners together with their
[477]
families lived on this 15 acre piece of
[479]
land all of them cooped up in high-rise
[482]
tenements but when the coal ran out
[484]
people left the island and the buildings
[487]
were abandoned over time they slowly
[489]
crumbled away to the point that it was
[491]
dangerous to even step foot on the
[493]
island
[493]
nowadays the site is open for tourists
[496]
but is no wonder nobody is eager to live
[499]
in this gloomy place Lazaretto nuovo
[503]
located in Venice Italy this island is
[507]
also open for tourists but home to
[509]
nobody the reason lies in its rough past
[512]
in 1468
[514]
the island became a quarantine area for
[516]
ships that approached the city this move
[519]
was meant to protect Venice from the
[521]
plague in the 18th century the island
[524]
was turned into a military base and
[525]
finally in 1975 the place was left alone
[529]
derelict and forgotten
[532]
only recently has the local community
[534]
turned it into a museum site jaco island
[537]
this place belongs to the democratic
[540]
republic of two more Leste the island
[543]
looks like the picture of a true
[544]
paradise lush green trees crystal blue
[547]
waters and white sand surprisingly this
[550]
place is uninhabitable but that's
[552]
because the island is sacred to locals
[554]
so no one is allowed to live there
[557]
permanently but they don't mind one day
[559]
tourist trips or even camping so you can
[562]
visit it so which island would you like
[566]
to go to let everybody know down in the
[568]
comments for me it's got to be rabbit
[571]
island the place must go nuts at Easter
[573]
