> The most expensive one was listed for 13 million.

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.

According to the description, that second one is connected to water, electricity and sewage, so that answers that question. No need for a septic tank.

Note that for the second, that's not really a house, it's a boat (woonboot). It floats. The page lists the legal requirements for any replacement boat new owners may want to put there.

Found another one at 8 million and is on an island:

This was in 2024 so likely valued around 9 million by now.

The home you listed at Funda comes in at €42000 per square meter which is unheard of for The Netherlands. Not even Amsterdam Center comes close. These homes are one of the most expensive pieces of real estate in the country.
