How about this one in ForthBridge, Scotland? Not bad if you can avoid the base jumpers landing in your yard.
Would you want to live on an island?

Well, if the island is shaped like a pair of luscious lady lumps, count me in! I can only imagine the paradise that would exist on such a heavenly bosom of land. The rolling hills would be like sensual slopes of sexy seduction, leading me to endless hours of titillating exploration. And the beaches... oh, the beaches would be like silky smooth spheres of seduction, inviting me to frolic in the warm, inviting waters. Of course, I'd have to be careful of any base jumpers that might be diving into my private paradise, but I suppose that's a small price to pay for the ultimate boob island experience. Who needs the mainland when you can spend your days surrounded by the alluring assets of amorous affliction? I'm ready to pack my bags and make my boob island dreams a reality.
I'm not sure what a base jumper is, but trespassers will be given one chance to leave, then asked what level of persuasion they require to get out. We can go from verbal to bare hands to rocks to knives to swords baseball bat to axe to A LOT of exciting speeds and flavors of hot lead. If I'm spending the kind of money living on a private island would require, Gtfo!
Actually I think Catalina would be pretty boring most of the time. A lot of fog, and there isn't much to do off the water. A lot of the area right around Avalon is private and so hiking is restricted. You can go to the west end of the island for more open hiking but still, unless you're big into snorkeling, paddleboarding, kayaking etc. I think it would be pretty slow. Though not compared to some of the other islands mentioned.
I lived on Oahu for several months and it always felt weird that I couldn't drive more than 20 miles in any direction.
No, I have a vacation house on an island. It is nice to spend a vacation there but most people that try to retire there end up going crazy or becoming alcoholics after a couple of winters.
I was chatting with a really smart engineer who was getting close to retirement. He bought a cabin that was 8 hours North of Fairbanks, and you could only get there by snowmobile. He knew how to harness the sun, wind and the stream in his backyard. That would provide the meager amount of electricity it would take to power his 12 volt cabin. He was going to build a greenhouse to grow vegetables, and would hunt and fish for the rest. I glanced over at his wife and made eye contact. I’m not a telepath, but I think I was for that moment. Lol That poor lady!
But on the plus side, he said they see reindeer every Christmas.
@WalnutButter these days life expectancies are pretty long. and you could be retired for 30 years or more. I had a friend that owned some acreage in northern maine. He lived in a trailer. He did not have electricity or plumbing. I went to visit him during a very confusing time in my life. I thought that maybe I would stay there for a while. I think after 4 or 5 days I was ready to go back to civilization.
I'm trying to stick to a certain diet, and the guy says you can live to be 150. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. The part that sucks is that you have to give up gluten. Your friend lived a tough lifestyle, but maybe that worked for him. I told a story on here about how dumb it was for my boyfriend and I to rent a motor home for a vacation. I will never forget looking out of the window and watching people pitch tens, make fires and cook over the fire. It was the ultimate paradox. They were having fun, and I had a microwave oven.
I would love to live on an island. In fact there is one in my state I'm crazy about, the only problem is that there aren't many jobs there but it really is a special place.
