"The ledges surrounding the island are loaded with seals for constant entertainment.

"Good anchorage and good landing points at any tide.

"Mooring included adjacent the island and just a short boat ride from Jonesport public marina or Addison facility."

The property holds a resemblance to the amazing property found on the smallest inhabited island in the world on Just Room Enough Island, Canada.

Sat in the middle of Canada's Saint Lawrence river is the picturesque home at just 3,300 square feet.

The aptly named island has just enough room for its single property, and was purchased in the 1950's by the Sizeland family as a holiday home.

Despite its small surface area, the island also has a tree, shrubs and even a small beach to soak up the sun.

When the tide is high, the river water often laps against the house walls - it's a high price to pay for privacy, but pretty all the same.
