More on Sovereign Islands

"Money can't buy you happiness" is how the old adage goes - but it certainly helps! The home we visited yesterday on Sovereign Islands looks tiny in comparison to the one across the road from it and yet it has the same number of bedrooms.
As I pointed out, each and every home on the Sovereign Islands is individual. There is not one home that you would be able to purchase here under three million dollars and any vacant land (such as next to this home) is eagerly snatched up and before too long the security fences go up and the construction of a new masterpiece is begun. Each house block faces water. This home faces a man made canal which means it is a safe anchorage for a very large boat - each home has its own pontoon.
This particular house has four levels, garages and offices being on the lowest level and then three levels of living and entertainment. It is fabulous! This home is not too big for the people who live here - there are people coming and going all the time and I haven't met anyone so willing to offer a bed to friends as these people. They live life to the fullest and they enjoy sharing it.
When I return home the contrast between my lifestyle and expectations and theirs really hits me - but I am happy with my situation and love my "country" home!
