The island is sited in Pine Island Sound, where several estuaries converge and create exceptional boating and fishing.  The island’s central feature is the original manor house, a luxurious Spanish-style villa built in the mid-1920s for well-known inventor Charles Burgess and masterfully restored and expanded by its current owner. The well-appointed rooms of this estate have been carefully planned to capture the island’s best views and gentle sea breezes, while providing all of today’s modern conveniences. The estate is designed to accommodate guests comfortably with a self-contained three bedroom guest wing, separated by an open breezeway and accessed by a private entrance.  100+ acres of private island prized for its location, coveted for its privacy.  Luxurious Spanish-style villa built in the 1920's & lovingly restored.  Private guest quarters.  Adjacent Old-Florida Village featuring caretaker's cottage, additional guest retreat, gracious pool and pavilion, informal history museum and lushly landscaped terraces.  Numerous water features including cascading waterfall, koi pond, and lagoon.  Tropical coquina-shelled road encircling the island leading to a tennis court and connecting to a nature trail
