Actually, that Michigan island is tempting......
And the weather keeps the riff-raff away at least five months out of the year.

I'm looking for something a bit smaller. 216 acres is a lot of grass to cut.

Vendovi is owned by the Fluke family and has been for sale for $14.5M ... I guess they didn't get any takers, so nows it's gonna be auctioned off.

Marcus, how ya fixed for cash? Wanna start a little consortium? You, me, Vashie, mebbee Don and Connie . . . we'll start our own little island republic! Our territorial capital? Buffettville! The harbor we'll name "One Particular" and there's gotta be some little cove we can re-name "Critterville"!!!!
I have a buddy who went in with some friends and bought an island in Sitka harbor . . . it is way beyond cool, but for about six months out of the year it is beyond COLD!

Haa Haaa.... roger THAT!!!! I was wondering who's it was....I guess they aren't sellin' enough VOM's these days...or the kids want some cash.....Me, I think I'd take a Daisy cutter to the top and pour a helo pad...... All the harbor needs is a big ramp poured so the seaplanes and amphibs can haul out and park on the grass....... I'm ready!!!!

You know it just dawned on me.
Manhattan Island was bought for
$24.00 worth of beads.
We all probably have enough beads to swing this deal.
