Slice of paradise for sale

Prospective buyers from as far away as Egypt and London have expressed interest in buying the Crow's Nest, a 1-acre island at the mouth of the Homosassa River, near the Gulf of Mexico.

Online bids start at $90,000 on July 22 and will continue through 2 p.m. on July 25, says Lamar Fisher, CEO of Fisher Auction Co.

The island, with its mangroves and palm trees, is reminiscent of ol' time Florida. It has no roads connecting it to the mainland. But it does have underground electricity.
