Between the Island, and Inland lot, you have two additional building sites AND a Cabin if you wanted to separate the parcels. Wrapped in rustic rough cedar siding, it sits perfectly on the island with breathtaking sunrise views greeting you each day, sitting where an original trappers shack was located. You have 3 docks and 2 additional buildable lots. The 3rd dock in on the 4-acre western parcel on the island and features two benches hand made from fallen trees, one overlooks the west view, and one overlooks the east view.
