A two-acre private island in Ohio is on the market for $1.125 million. The price also includes a mainland lot, giving the buyer a place to launch a boat and reach the island.
Red Oak Island sits on Indian Lake near Lakeview, Ohio. It has approximately 1,700 feet of waterfront and electrical service through a utility pole, according to the listing. There is no home on the island.
The sale includes a separate property at 11029 Newland Drive. That lot has around 45 feet of waterfront, a seawall, boat dockage and a capped city sewer connection.
What could a buyer do with Red Oak Island?
Eric Schnipke of Choice Properties Real Estate, who represents both properties, said the island and mainland lot are unzoned and have no homeowners association.
Schnipke has suggested the buyer could build a private retreat, a family compound, rental cabins or a boutique hotel. According to the listing, the Newland Drive lot could also be used for a house, camper, or other structure
The mainland property has about 40 feet of road frontage and is 114 feet deep. It also provides space to park vehicles and boat trailers before heading out to the island.
Red Oak Island is not the only unusual property for sale in Ohio. A three-bedroom “Hobbit House” built into a hillside in Huron was listed for $850,000. The home sits on nearly eight acres along the Huron River, with grass and plants covering much of its roof.
Further afield, a former manga library in Japan went up for sale for around $12,000. The vacant building still contains shelves of manga left from its time as a privately run library.
Buying an island also brings to mind a Beast Games contestant who won a private island valued at $1.8 million. Ian Weber ultimately chose a payout instead of keeping the property.
