Atwood, have you considered an island property? You would definitely get a lot more bang for your buck! We took the plunge back in 2003, a few years before our first headed to college. We feel our purchase was one of the best things we have ever done for our family. The adventure was incredible and the memories are priceless. If you haven't found an agent, I highly recommend
Nancy and Doug DePorter. They are island
and Lakes Region specialists. Best of luck with your purchase. What an exciting time!!!
