Would you risk coming to my island?

[purplepoppy]

There's a small 17-acre island complete with a farmhouse for sale here for £350,000. Obviously, I'm tempted. It could be a nice private place to have parties with my friends.

But would you like to come party on my private island?

Yes but absolutely no photography

No I want a career in politics

[nolabels]

My first thought is that if it didn't sell the second it went on the market, or even before, there's probably something about it that's not desirable.

That being said, sure, I'll party.

Let us know.

P. S. - The question mentions risk.
Me wonders why that term was used in the question.
Mysteries abound in this crazy world, don't they?, ...

Photos are fine with me, and no, I have no desire for a career in politics, so I was unable to choose one of your interesting options.

Cheers!

My first concern would be that the price reflects some major issues with the property. The upside is that you might be able to afford the inevitable repairs and upgrades by hosting a do it yourself property maintenance social media channel.
My second concern would be that private islands are going to have a negative perception for the foreseeable future. I don’t think i’ll be visiting any private islands in my lifetime.

[purplepoppy]

The farmhouse is advertised as being in need of repair.

[Chazmatazz269]

I’m certain that is an understatement. In the US, realtors have taken to the term “good bones” as a way to communicate that a home is in need of total renovation. 😂😂

[KimmySchmit]

there's all these small sparsely populated islands all over Ireland, Scotland and Isle O Man and I've always had the fantasy of moving to one of them.

[RandomGirl42]

I heard the only word I needed to! PARTY!!! 🥳 I am so there! um... might wanna' get someone else to drive tho.

I’m Jason, your Travel Buddy 🌍✈️ I’m a traveler who loves discovering new places, trying local food, and helping people plan awesome trips in simple, practical ways.

A 17‑acre private island with a farmhouse for £350,000 sounds amazing. For parties with friends, swimming, barbecues, and maybe a small dock for boats? I’d absolutely “risk” coming to that island 🏝️

Just think about: transport in bad weather, supplies, emergency access, and maintenance costs. If those check out, it could be an incredible getaway base for you and your friends.

[exitseven]

yes, I bet there would be a lot of interesting food to eat.

[DryGermanGuy]

Hmmm... Forgive me for being suspicious, but what does that island's name translate to in English? It's not like "secret chasm directly to hell", or something similar?

[purplepoppy]

The island is called Ynys Gifftan. Ynys (similar to German insel?) just means island. Gifftan is a play on words gift + Anne as it was originally given as a gift by Queen Anne in 1700s,

[DryGermanGuy]

That sounds nice enough. 🤔

[Bricealan]

@purplepoppy ... wood I? wood I? yes, I wood!!! But I want to see your latest LIt

[Bricealan]

@purplepoppy Might be interesting to own an island but what to do with it? Build on it? How to do that from the mainland?

[purplepoppy]

You can cross over an hour either side of low water. It's going to be near impossible to get planning permission for anything bar a house. If you can get grazing rights to the Saltmarsh it could be very profitable but I'd probably rent out the island for holiday purposes.

[Bricealan]

@purplepoppy Wouldn't you have to build on it in order to rent out the island for parties, or were you just spoofing? No a bad idea if you could do it and make money by renting it out for a weekend, but I would be concerned about the "guests' destroying anything I had built?

[purplepoppy]

There's already a old farmhouse there so wouldn't be hard to get planning permission (a willing builder might be a different story) . Camping really popular here so a basic shelter combined with added privacy would attract people.

[Bricealan]

@purplepoppy If you can make a profit after all the smoke clears, I would do it!

[Iron_Man]

What exactly would we do on your island? I know you like taking care of sheep, but what else?

[purplepoppy]

We could go for a swim

[Iron_Man]

OK, we’ll go swimming and jump in the river from a high cliff

[Kaneki05]

Yes, fair warning though I am the straggler who'd still somehow be there after everyone else has left

[7Phoenix7]

I’ll come! But then you have to come visit my island too… the weather is lovely on Bouvet Island this time of year.

[AviatorTom]

I'd be happy to attend a Poppy-Party on the island. No photos please. They might get us into trouble. 😉

[Lliam]

I would, unless there is any sexual abuse of minors involved. haha 😈😉

[OneViewpoint]

Is there a Lolita ferry? Can I bring my friends Billy and Donny?

[FreyaRed]

Yes. I bring Mick Jagger and his medicine man with me.

[pierre7i]

How about you make it a nudist resort @purplepoppy? I'd be on the first boat !

[ohsheeT]

It would cost a lot for the up keep of it. But that's not a bad price

[MicahRaine]

I see the potential. That island could be beautiful

[KostasKouvalis]

Of course. The way you're asking this though, it sounds like there's something wrong with it. Also, since you said "No Photogtaphy", I have a fairly good idea of what kind of parties these are. I'm down

[Levin]

She's Welsh. I would strongly advise against it.

[KostasKouvalis]

@Levin I know she's Welsh. Clearly you know something about Welsh people that I don't

[Levin]

I don't trust you poppy. You'll do something strange to my butthole.

Plus, I try and avoid Wales where I can.

[Staximus]

There's a party on Poppy Island, everybody is cumming

[Jerre]

I will certainly be there, especially if it is a sex party

[Jerre]

@purplepoppy Thank you for the Like

[Nikki1989]

Looks like a nice rock.

[Jeff51]

Kinda small but why not

[RavVid]

Will you have a beer fridge?

[MannMitAntworten]

Damn! I could totally afford that! Ha ha

[Agape93]

Yeap

[Jonettacali]

Are you the president of this island? 🤔

[fish5505_87]

What are you serving?

[Enginn]

Sure if I can build my own house there

[Surely]

On my way!
