This property is 'off the grid' with an extensive photovoltaic solar system that supplies power to the main house. A back-up generator helps during the cloudy days, but some accommodation for nature's proclivities is required. An island caretaker and working farmer in residence at the south end is available to assist guests with navigating the solar system as well as providing trips ashore as needed. Panoramic views of water, mountains and pastoral fields are enjoyed from every room of the house. Extensive sandy beaches are just a 5 minute walk. Three mile mowed walking and running paths circle the island and are perfect for fitness minded guests. Fly in to a 2500 foot runway with excellent approaches north and south. Our caretaker grows lovely flowers and vegetables to share with guests and are yours for the picking. Savage Island is magic and the perfect place to relax with family and friends. Various beach and water toys and bikes are also for you to use.Keywords: beaches, pastoral, scenic, fly-in, kid and pet friendly, confortable
