Got $110,000 (£80k) going spare? Well then this beautiful leafy island in Canada might just be the ticket. Available through Private Islands Online, Gillis Island is located on the Pinette River, just 30 minutes from Charlottetown, the capital of Prince Edward Island. 

The 11-acre private paradise offers woodlands and 200 feet of south-facing sandy shorefront. Although it's currently entirely undeveloped, the opportunities here are endless and, according to the listing, the island has remained largely untouched since the Acadians first settled the surrounding community of Eldon in 1750.

Positioned off the coast of Prince Edward Island, the isolated isle can be reached by boat in under 10 minutes and offers truly unrivalled views. Plus, it places you within easy reach of the red sand beaches, renowned seafood and art galleries of Prince Edward Island, as well as the outstanding kayaking routes and championship golf courses in the region.

What's more, most of the surrounding land remains undeveloped, meaning you could create a quiet and remote hideaway far away from the rat race. In 2020, the average house price in this area was around $198,000 (£144k), which also makes this stunning lot an absolute steal.

Ever dreamt of buying a dreamy oceanfront retreat in Maine, USA? Well, with houses in the East Coast state costing around $280,437 (£202k) on average, why settle for a house when you could gain so much more bang for your buck? For $395,000 (£285k), you could snap up your very own private piece of paradise.

This amazing American island is positioned just off the eastern shore of Vinalhaven Island in Maine's mid-coast region. Offering a beautiful rugged green landscape that spans five acres, the isle provides picturesque views of Penobscot Bay at one end and a protected cove at the other.

Currently the island remains undeveloped, although there is a small unassuming shack that's crying out to be renovated into something a little more inviting. Here, meadows and spruce trees flourish, while wild strawberries and roses bloom in the summer months, making it a wilderness haven for off-grid living.

The island currently boasts permissions for a new 600-square-foot structure to be built so this could be the perfect development opportunity for a buyer with vision. Plus at low tide, you'll have direct access to the sand beach on neighbouring Vinalhaven – utter bliss!

In Ontario, Canada the average house costs around $594,000 (£429k), but for $531,203 (£384k) you can snap up an entire one-acre island in the heart of the province's Whitefish Falls. 

What makes this island even better is that it already comes with a one-bedroom house overlooking the tranquil waters. The isle is located approximately five minutes by boat from Whitefish Falls and the dock boasts deep water so you can even park up your private yacht. 

The solar-powered cottage offers 500 square feet of living space with views of the La Cloche Mountain Range. The unique property is formed from an old converted grain silo and would make an ideal holiday retreat for escaping civilisation for a while. There's also a separate guest suite located inside a replica sheep wagon complete with an outdoor washroom.

Just imagine spending your mornings sipping coffee and taking in this stunning scenery. If you've fallen in love with the view, then the island is currently for sale for $531,203 (£384k) with Sotheby's International Realty, but move quickly because we doubt it'll hang around for long!

A substantial wilderness home, the main cottage features gabled roofs and rustic wood clapboarding. Inside, there's a cosy living room with a wood-burning stove, a kitchen-diner overlooking the water, a three-piece bathroom and four spacious bedrooms. Deeper into the woodlands, you'll find the smaller North Cabin, which offers additional accommodation for guests.

Situated a stone's throw away from the border of the United States, the large wraparound deck has spectacular, far-reaching views out across the lake. Duval Island is a short boat ride from Richards Landing Municipal Marina on nearby St Joseph Island, offering easy access to amenities and shops when supplies run low.

If it's white-sand beaches and picture-postcard palm trees you're yearning for, then you're in luck. From the coconut grove to the turquoise lagoon that hugs the island's shores, Motu Tohepuku is nothing short of breathtaking. We can just imagine pitching up a sun lounger on the sand and drinking up those idyllic Pacific Ocean vistas with a mai tai or two...
