Easily over a million for the ones without neighbors. The most expensive one was listed for 13 million.

These are holiday homes for wealthy elites in Amsterdam. You either go there straight from Amsterdam by helicopter or you have a chauffeur drive/boat you there. These people don’t drive themselves.

But probably not for long with non-primary real estate being taxed at 2.2% a year.

This one [1]? It's a huge villa (not on an island) plus 2 islands for that price, so not really comparable.

I found a more representative example of an island with a house that is currently for sale [2]. It is listed for €1.5 million.
