Canadian artists Catherine King and Wayne Adams live on an enormous floating island they built out of discarded and recycled materials on the west coast of Vancouver Island. They have lived there for almost thirty years now. The island, dubbed Freedom Cove, is 25 miles (by boat) from the nearest town, and doesn't have electricity, but it has what the couple needs.
The compound has everything you could possibly think of and more: a dance floor, an art gallery, a candle factory, four greenhouses, six solar panels, and access to a small waterfall that provides constant running water.

Floating houses are very cool. In my home town there was a small float house neighborhood. We always joked they could flush their toilets twice a day when the tide changed.
