Welcome to Seayre, an incredible, private 4+ acre island with a newly renovated cottage at its southern edge, overlooking your own pocket beach. You'll appreciate the ease of access from the mainland with ample parking and private use of a deep water dock positioned just two minutes from your own island. Upon arrival at your private retreat, you'll have exclusive use of a private dock. From there, a short hike along a seaside trail brings you to your charming island home featuring granite kitchen counters and stainless appliances, three bedrooms and a loft, two new bathrooms, a screened porch, outdoor shower, and modern amenities including a new 6.7kW solar power system with battery backup, on demand hot water, and a 10kW generator with battery backup that is programmed to ''make water'' when the solar power has maximized the batteries. This modern home allows three season living with insulated windows, full foundation, drilled well, wood heat (with the option of electric backup), private well with whole house RO water treatment system, and conventional septic, very rare for an offshore island. A 6 passenger 4x4 side-by-side and 4x4 tractor with a bucket loader will be conveyed with the property. These showings are by boat, but easy to view. Schedule your showing today.
