There is approximately 1-½ miles of diverse shoreline most of which is low bank and easy access. This park-like island is beautifully treed with large old growth and mature second growth fir and cedar trees around the entire perimeter. A number of years ago the center portion of the island was selectively logged and is now in a healthy state of regeneration in amongst some older growth and is very lush. A small wetland portion is in the center of the island to the east This area provides a possible reservoir site for fresh water and several culverts have been installed to help direct this water for positive uses. Located on the southwest tip is a picturesque bay that provides superb protected deep-water moorage. The island is inhabited by many varieties of wildlife including an eagle's nest that has been there for over 20 years!
	Infrastructure is in place to immediately begin development and construction of your island estate as well as a 20 ft. sea container onsite for the secure weather-tight storage of equipment and supplies. Infrastructure includes a substantial standing pier, ramp and dock system constructed of aluminum, situated on concrete piles with an aluminum ramp extending down to a 40 ft. galvanized steel float with wood siding and rails, an approved septic system with holding tanks, pumps and field already in place and a camping platform that is situated close to the moorage facilities.
A number of overgrown pathways and roads previously constructed have been reactivated to provide easy access from one end of the island to the other and to a number of great sites for building your island residence. These roadways lead to the shoreline in the bay located on the southwest tip. This provides easy marine access for loading and off loading material and equipment.
