But there is indeed a chance Rokkenjima couldn't be seen on google earth, not for privacy reasons but because only populated areas are scanned at high definition.

Don't you have the option over in your country to get your place blurred out?
Of course only in personal view, but the satellite view brings you only so close most of the time, that it doesn't actually give you a really informative view anyway.
Also, Google Maps, including the satellite/aerial view, was only launched in 2005, 19 years after the Rokkenjima incident and pictures are very likely to be from at least 15 years after it.
It's not unlikely that Kuwadorian was already overgrown with vegetation during the time of the last conference, considering it went "out of business" in the late 60's. That means by the 2000's it will probably be nothing more than a slightly visible, less densely overgrown space (if the garden really was as spacious as the anime made us believe)...parts of the Kuwadorian ruin are very likely invisible from even several hundred feet in the air.
And the only thing that'd actually be visible of the mansion's site would be a crater which over a century later would have also widely been reclaimed by the wild.
You would probably find an island in 2005 using Google Earth, but you'd have no way to prove what stood where and what could have happened there without closer investigation.
