The strangest house in New York: one-family island

A small island located in the St. Lawrence River between Canada and the United States, gives one family an incredible sense of privacy.

This territory, named Just Room Enough Island, is considered the smallest inhabited island in the world, writes 6sqft.

The island was bought in 1950 by a rich Sizland family who wanted to build a summer house there. The island has one house, one tree, a bush and chairs, from which you can admire the surrounding waters.

The island is one of the 1864 islands of the archipelago in the river that separates New York and Ontario. The network of islands in the river extends over approximately 80 km and includes islands ranging from 100 square km to miniature unsung rocky formations.

To obtain the status of an island, a piece of land on a river must remain above the water level all year round, with at least two trees growing on it. Some of the other inhabited islands of this archipelago have much more than one house. Wellesley Island, for example, has a park, a hotel, an ice cream shop, and a yacht club.
