Who says you need to be a billionaire to own your very own island? Here’s your chance to claim an incredibly rare private island retreat on the Susquehanna River. Driftwood Island near Herndon, PA, is headed to auction in November, with an opening bid of only $10,000. Cue the daydreams of river adventures and a place to escape the daily grind.

Located in Northumberland County, roughly 90 minutes from Lancaster according to the listing, the property is identified as Parcel 9. The property details list 0.67 acres, while the description advertises approximately one acre. Either way, the offering is an island lot, so think your own slice of the Susquehanna rather than an entire island kingdom.

Imagine paddling out to a patch of river land you can call your own. Bring a fishing rod, pack a picnic, and trade the sound of notifications for an afternoon watching the Susquehanna roll by.

Ready to raise your hand? The onsite auction is scheduled for November 14, 2026, at 11 a.m. The sale has a reserve and requires seller confirmation, meaning the $10,000 opening figure is not a guaranteed purchase price.
