Tizzard Island Taylor Landing Rd, Girdletree, MD 21829

Tizzard Island is located just East of the historic Hudson Landing.   Today, Taylor Landing is the closest access point to the 250 acre island. Near the Taylor landing boat ramp, there is a boat shed and lot that coney with the island. The land is oriented largely parallel to the winter Northwest winds blowing from the mainland across Chincoteague Bay.   The island lays specifically within Johnson Bay inside of the Chincoteague Bay's island complexes running from Figgs Landing to the North down to the Virginia line to the South.   The coastal habitats within this region of the coastal bays ecosystem are offer a myriad of natural habitats.   From the sandy shorelines and intertidal pools with beds of sub merged aquatic grasses to the interior high salt marsh ponds, the quality and unspoiled nature of the island's ecological integrity is clearly significant.   The State Wildlife Management area of the E A Vaughn complex is testament to the wildlife and ecological value endemic to the surrounding area.   The state together with local conservation partners are drafting a restoration and long term management plan to help ensure the long term ecosystem values are preserved at Tizzard Island.   Perhaps one of the most important features of Tizzard Island is the 1,122 square foot hunting lodge and boat house on the property.   The 4 bedroom lodge is appointed with pine paneling and the character of a coastal hunting lodge, providing the perfect setting to entertain family and friends after a day of waterfowling or fishing the surrounding waters of Tizzard Island.   All showings through listing broker.
