A shrewd shopper may buy an entire ten-acre island in Deerskin Lake, Wis., for $115,000. For a bit more, the Bahamas' entire Whale Cay, complete with mansion and matching village can be acquired: 650 acres, 20 minutes by plane from downtown Nassau, seven white-sand beaches, and all priced to sell at $3,500,000. Is the purchaser partial to antiques? He can live in one (when...
