We have seen our fair share of odd Craigslist advertisements. None, however, compares to this: a man has put up his “3 acre surveyed buildable private island” in Port Orange, Florida, for sale. Here’s the punchline…he hopes to trade the island for a Ferrari Enzo. He goes on to mention, at the end of his Craigslist post, that he will also accept US$1.2 million for the land. Normally, trading an Enzo for a private island (even though it is a tiny one at just 3 acres), would be a pretty sweet deal.
However, the deal lost all of its sweet sugary goodness when we realised that the 3 acre island is basically a mini jungle that has an elevation of about only 5 feet, absolutely no amenities, and a buildable area of only 1.81 acres. Unless there’s a chance that there might be an oil well under the island, we won’t be shelling out US$1.2 million for this island…much less handing over the keys to an Enzo.
