Is there any Buildings or Structures
(ie. radio tower etc) on the island? Is it connected to the mainland(s) by a
causeway?
The only structures on the island are those at the
lighthouse complex, at the southwestern corner, about 1 mile from the parcel for
sale. In that
complex there is the lighthouse itself (very pretty, two lighthouse keepers
houses, a helicopter pad, a small boat dock, and some small outbuildings. There
are no other structures -- towers, or anything else -- anywhere on the island.
The property for sale is in pristine condition.
Other than
regular tides and normal seasonal storms, is there any history of flooding on
the private part of the island? What is the property's highest altitude (high
point), i.e. feet above the lake's water level?
There is absolutely no history of
flooding to the best of my knowledge. The land on the private parcel (and most
of the entire island) is well up from the lake level. How many feet above it I
cannot say, but there is no marsh or wetland of any sort on this private parcel.

Can you get
to the Island by plane? Also is there a Helipad or any paved roads?
There is no landing strip on the
island now, although there is, on the property, a very large flat meadow that
could (I reckon) be made into one. There is, at the lighthouse about one mile
away, a helicopter landing pad.
What is the
usual cost for property taxes for this property?
Because the land is undeveloped, and
without infrastructure (like much of rural Canada) the property taxes are
virtually nil -- in 2003, $88.00.
Do you need
to have Canadian citizenship to purchase?
Do you become a Canadian citizen if you buy it and live there?
The current owner is a US citizen. You do not have to be Canadian to own
this property.
