This fixer upper is located on the beautiful island of Tangier in the Chesapeake Bay. Only access is by air or boat. Most of the interior has been gutted and is ready for your improvements. Canal front property is certainly a plus and the local business such as grocery, restaurants, school with 1-12 combined and two churches. Many of the islanders crab so there are plenty of crabs at the local restaurants. Come see for yourself, located on Main Street.
