Jealous of all of those insanely beautiful #IslandLife posts drowning out your Instagram feed? Now's your chance to finally live the tropical life yourself—and we mean really live it: an entire island in the Tobacco Caye Range of Belize has just been put on the market for $500,000. For an entire island, that sounds like a steal if I've ever heard one.

The island itself is located just 30 minutes off the coast of Dangriga, which is the capital of the Stann Creek District in southern Belize. It's also right by a marine conservation zone and just 1.2 miles away from the Belize Barrier Reef—which is the second longest barrier reef system on the entire planet.

Although it's less than an acre in size—0.655 acres, to be exact—the island is home to five different structures that were built back in 2009. While they're all in need of some tender love and care (aka some repairs and renovations), the existing structures offer nine bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms on the island for the lucky buyer.

There are three different piers located around the island, which offer easy access to land from boats and they're also an excellent place to start snorkeling from (the listing notes that this island is located in a perfect spot to swim around in).

For those of you adventurous enough to dwell on this island in Belize, you'll be able to have an authentic "off the grid" experience, but you'll also have a working water system and a generator in place. Goodbye cramped apartment, hello island living!
