So we’re buying a flat (very slowly) so I’m obviously looking in estate agent windows all the time and stuff and paying attention to the property market in general, so that’s how I noticed that The US General Services Administration’s Office of Property Disposal has put this fabulous 3 island concrete atol on the market

Johnston Atoll consists of four small man-made islands enclosed in an egg-shaped reef approximately 21 miles in circumference. The wildlife refuge on the Atoll is a habitat for 32 species of coral, 300 species of fish, the endangered sea turtle and Hawaiian monk seal, and 20 species of migratory birds. Johnston, the main island, is 1000 yards long and 200 yards wide.

Anyway, unfortunately Emma burns easily so it’s not really practical given that there’s not much shelter there:

all buildings had been removed, there were no functioning utilities or water supply, the runway was iffy, the golf course disintegrated, the seawall containing the nuclear waste dump was insufficient, and that nearest services of any kind are over 700 miles away.
