Rattlesnake Island Association Lot

We have a place on Rattlesnake and LOVE it! However Just two other items you should consider. If you are going to purchase on Rattlesnake on the Broads side the weather can create havoc for boating. If your boating skills are not that good it can be a real challenge, even at times making it impossible to get to or leave your place. The waves can be so large that it can be terrifying for even the most experienced boater. Island Girl has some nice pictures in the gallery under "weather" which shows how large the waves can get (I'd copy and post here if I knew how)!! I have personally seen two of my neighbors boats sunk from the waves.

The second factor is everything on the islands cost MORE!! Not just marginally more but alot more! Building especially and if you decide you might want to build look into costs before you buy the property!

My wife is also a real estate agent and we are at the lake most weekends. If you would like to talk to her and be shown around we would be happy to take you out. PM me for contact info. Of course RG's offer is very very good and shows the kinds of people/neighbors on Rattlesnake!
