Paperwork is being done now, but by Friday I should have my very own island! Well, kinda. It's a 10 year lease with year to year lease after that.
If you look at the pic you can see the roof of the cabin that is on it. Pretty good sized island. Cabin needs work, but it will be a fun project, plus a nice little getaway. Plus it's only half an hour from home.

It's definitely...

Wasn't really forcing anything. Didn't think it really mattered to anyone.
It's $1,600 per year lease for everything, plus I get to spend the first $4,800 in lease payments on materials to fix it up in lieu of the payment. After that, it's $1,600 per year for the rest of the lease.
Pretty good deal.

What kind of work do you have to do to it? How large is it?

It's gonna lose some of its cool factor. Bear in mind, there is little water in the state of Nebraska, and this may be one of literally four or five of privately owned islands in the entire state. The lake is man made. The entire lake is sand based (Ex-sand pit where they extracted gravel for road construction). There used to be a public beach since the 1930's. You can see the beach in the upper right portion of the lake. It's still really cool to me and with it being 30 minutes from home, we will get to use it quite a bit.
