Checklist for Island Buyers |
Infrastructure
Fresh water, a legal sewage system and availability of electricity, telephone and internet all belong to civilised island life.
One could perhaps spare electricity, telephone and internet but not water! If there is no water on the island and the ground water table has sunk so deep that it cannot serve the plants, the island dries out and becomes unappealing. The only way to get water would be using a desalination system (costs up to US $50,000). Ideal is a drilled well, which almost all islands in the northern hemisphere and in the very southern hemisphere offer. When considering the purchase of an island around the equator, the availability of water needs to be on your checklist. Islands with an own water supply are automatically in a much more valuable category.
Electricity can be generated today by using alternative methods. Still, the ideal situation would be to run underwater cables from the mainland to the island. The initial costs are high but as time progresses, this is a much more comfortable option. At the same time, a telephone line can be installed, however with today's cellular network, this is no longer a big issue. |
