Who doesn't love to call out the wildly high prices of Vancouver real estate? It's always tempting to see what else out there you can get for the same price.
As it turns out, it's an entire private island all to yourself, for less than what the average Vancouver condo goes for. It's not out in some remote location either. This little island for sale is "easily accessible" near Salt Spring Island, according to the listing.
