Surrounded by the sun, surf, and sand, it's easy for your Sole Survivor to forget about the mainland.  This mod adds a small island perfect for a PLAYER HOME just off the coast of Salem. The cove is unfurnished, flat,  and empty - ready for you to build your dream home.  I made this for myself as a place to take nice showcase screens, but decided to release it. This mod is both lore friendly and not lore friendly and mostly just for fun ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ also I was really disappointed with the unfixable crapshack that is coastal cottage so I made my own mod

HOW DO I GET THERE? You can fast travel to Salem, then turn right when the game has loaded and make your way down to the water. There's a small pier shack and pier with a wooden rowboat that your Sole Survivor can take to get the island (alternatively, you can just swim there). You can fast travel to and from the island as well, however I recommend taking the boat for the first time :)

THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW - I did a little clean up on the coast by the small pier with the boat that you take to the island for a nicer view. - I would not recommend using this as a settlement - only a player home. I don't want to hear any complaining about settlers doing weird stuff - this wasn't created with settlement functionality in mind. Activate settler beacons at your own risk. I'm not going to make it a settlement, either. Too much fiddling to get that to work right, and the amount of mods most people are running is too hard to troubleshoot when an inevitable problem comes up. - There are no enemies to fight to gain ownership of the island. Just access the workbench from the ferns (refer to screens for exact location). - The location of this island originally contained a shipwreck and a wrecked plane. There wasn't any very notable loot, so I did not keep any of it. - The exterior cells may reset, so I wouldn't recommend storing anything you want to disappear there (power armor, legendary items) just to be safe.  I have not experienced cell resets in my testing. You might. You've been warned. Again, people run too many mods that alter weird things and I'd rather warn you so you're safe rather than

✨ Key Features

Adds a quiet island off the coast of Salem with a flat surface for building.
Designed for players who want to construct their Sole Survivor's dream home from scratch.
Popular with 559 endorsements and over 10,000 downloads.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community favorite with 559 endorsements and 10k downloads—clearly a lot of people dig it.
  • Flat surface means no terrain headaches; you can just drop your blueprint and build.
  • Tucked away off Salem, so it's a peaceful spot away from the Commonwealth chaos.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2017, so it might be outdated for current game versions or DLC.
  • No workshop or scrapping mechanics mentioned—might be just a static location, not a full settlement.
  • Compatibility risk with other mods that alter the Salem area or add new locations nearby.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Fallout 4 settlement builders who want a blank, scenic canvas without pre-existing structures to scrap. Also for roleplayers who want a quiet retreat for their Sole Survivor. Skip if you need a fully functional workshop settlement or if you're on a modlist that heavily edits the Salem region.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Check if the island is marked as a workshop location—if not, you may need a mod like 'Workshop Anywhere' to build there.
  • Since it's a new location, fast travel might not be available until you discover it; use console commands or a vertibird to get there.
  • If you're using a mod manager, make sure to load this mod after any major overhauls to avoid conflicts.
