Located in the heart of Florida,  Barnard Island has to be one of the best deals on the American market.  Surrounded by excellent fishing and conveniently close to many of Florida's top attractions, this 5 acre undeveloped island has just come on the market for an unbelievable US $93K.

Looking northward to the American heartland, Indiana now has its first private island listing with Treasure Island, a fully-developed property in Lake Manitou. Equipped with a charming home and including everything needed for a perfect lake hideaway, the island is listed at US $999K. And even further north is a very special Ontario island, sheltered in its own private bay. For just CAD $375K, Turtle Island is surrounded by Canada's beautiful wildlife and a perfect place to build a dream cottage.

Development of private islands to varying degrees is of course very common, but local ecologies are important considerations. Because of the fragile beauty and cultural significance of some islands, local indigenous populations may have a significant vested interest in their protection.
