Well, the dream could be reality!

Found at http://www.st-pierre-et-miquelon.com/musee/tricoche.html :

"(...) Un de ces îlots, l'île Verte, où l'on aurait à peine la place
de bâtir une maison de taille ordinaire et ses dépendances, contient
ce qu'on appelle en plaisantant " la frontière de terre de Saint-
Pierre-et-Miquelon ". C'est qu'en effet, il appartient par moitié à
la France et à Terre-Neuve. (...)"

(One of these islands, the Green Island, with hardly any space to
build a house of normal dimensions and its annexes, contains what is
jokingly called "the land boundary of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon". It
is indeed split in half between France and Newfoundland)
