7Just Room Enough Island (USA)

Situated on a tiny island in the Thousand Islands archipelago, Just Room Enough Island holds a small house with just enough space for a single-family home. Purchased by the Sizeland family in the 1950s, the island offers a unique form of isolation—surrounded by water, yet part of a populated region. The house and the island are so small that one step outside the door leads to the water’s edge, making it an incredibly intimate and isolated space.

Why it’s special: The island’s size and location create a charming but extremely solitary environment.
