Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This for-sale private waterfront island offering includes approximately 157.83 acres, with about 15 acres of uplands. The property is situated directly along the Intracoastal Waterway at the southeastern tip of Barbour Island and features an existing private deepwater dock constructed from Brazilian hardwood Ipe. Replacement cost of the dock is estimated at $600,000+. Additional improvements include two elevated wooden camping platforms and a picnic area, along with trails through the upland portions.
The surrounding waters are within a DNR-protected shellfish zone, and the remarks describe monthly water monitoring and an abundance of oysters, clams, shrimp, crab, and fish. The uplands and marsh environment are positioned as an ecologically significant area with wildlife, and historical records and aerial imagery indicate evidence of early-period settlement, including a shell midden mound estimated at approximately 4,000 years old.
Optional membership in the Barbour Island HOA is described as providing access to a private airfield, a community boat dock, a swimming pool, and additional mainland conveniences.
