• The Islands of Lac Lesage, two private islands in Canada, are on sale for a total of $495,000.
• The private adjoining islands, located in Quebec, come with a two-level home.

What if you could have two private islands for less than the price of an average home in the US? It might sound too good to be true, but this deal is 100% real.

Private Islands Inc. has listed two completely private islands in Quebec, Canada, for $495,000.

The Islands of Lac Lesage feature a main island that measures 37,321 square feet and a second island located directly behind it that measures 2,402 square feet.

The main island features a two-level home with an open-concept floor plan on both levels.

According to the listing, the exterior finishing and interior design of the home are currently unfinished to allow the new owner to design and decorate to their own preference.

The washroom facilities are located in a separate structure that is "well-protected from the elements and offers ample space for two people," the listing states.

The Islands of Lac Lesage are located in the heart of the Laurentian Mountains and less than 40 minutes from the Mont-Tremblant International Airport.

The private islands get their name from the lake on which they're situated. According to the listing, the lake is fully navigable via gas motorboats.

"The water quality is crystal clean and pristine, making swimming and all water activities that much more pleasurable," the listing states.

The two private islands are located on a part of the lake that borders Réserve faunique de Papineau-Labelle. The wildlife reserve — which is home to the likes of deer, moose, beavers, and trout — is rich in diverse vegetation and offers opportunities for hunting, fishing, and wildlife observation.

Since the reserve is protected by the Canadian government, no construction of any kind is permitted near the Islands of Lac Lesage — ensuring the area will stay very private.

While private islands might seem like a luxury for celebrities and tech tycoons, many have recently hit the market for under $1 million.

Inglis Island, a private island in Ontario, Canada, is currently on the market for $655,779. The 12-acre island features a 125-year-old log home that has recently been restored and includes custom-made furniture.

Rainy Lake Island, another private island in Ontario, is on sale for $750,000. It features a two-bedroom home and a guesthouse with a separate bedroom, living room, and kitchen.
