At high tide, there are over two miles of shorefront. The surrounding waters of Passamaquoddy Bay and the Bay of Fundy are incredibly rich in nutrients. As a result the region is teeming with life. During the summer months, encounters with whales, porpoises, seals, and bald eagles are practically a daily occurrence.The island itself is geographically diverse. There are several protected coves, high bluffs, meadows, a marsh, plus many large and small beaches. The interior of the island is a vast, untouched forest of spruce. There is a great variety of other plant life as well, including blueberry and cranberry bushes, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, and wildflowers.The cedar log home was built in 1994 and the wharf in 2001. Ample power is provided by the solar photovoltaic panels on the roof, but if the fog comes in for a several days, there's the Onan 7.5kw propane generator for backup. Also fueled by gas from the 1,750-gallon liquid propane tank are the refrigerator, tankless hot water heater, clothes dryer, kitchen stove, hot tub water heater (yes, there's a redwood hot tub) and five wall-venting room heaters. The house was designed for year-round use, and has been comfortably used in every month of the year. There is 120 volt AC power and 12 volt DC power throughout the house. The fresh water well is backed up with a reverse osmosis system delivering almost a gallon of water a minute of crystal-clear water to the 330 gallon storage tanks. Heat is supplied by propane-fueled wall heaters and a contemporary Jotul wood stove. There is a full kitchen, with refrigerator, range/oven, dishwasher, and disposal. The bathroom has a custom glass shower, sink and toilet.
