Wow! That would be a wonderful place to use to just get away and wander. Can you build or put a camper on the property?

The Seller indicates that,  included are rights to use a live-in trailer on the island, that are grandfathered-in. How ever that would need to be confirmed by Washington County.

Thanks Debe Maxwell, the Islands are 100% in flood plain , more suitable for a politician from DC to get some R&R and walk in the woods. Happy New Year!
