wanna buy an island? yes, please.

thanks to the recent issue of seven days i am dreaming in real estate today, and i am dreaming big.

garden island, the lake champlain hideaway and the former summer retreat of president william taft is...FOR SALE.

the compound has a main house along with five cottages, all named after trees - willow, maple, oak, etc. PLUS, there is a victorian lookout tower and a gazebo (and oh boy, do i love gazebos) all set on 30 acres nestled in a protected waterfront off the "coast" of charlotte.

and it could be mine (or yours) for just a few million bucks...

...oh the parties we could have! *sigh*
