Also, I always looked at Island property as a decision for value. I know it's not the case for everyone, but, again, $5M should buy a mainland property with year-round/much simpler access.

WEll, as you know, no matter how much you pay you are not likely going to find a house that's perfect. Close, maybe but never perfect. If a couple of weeks of shallow water bothers one, then that's not the house for them. We could have extended our dock but the issue of shallow water didn't bother us that much to do that. I do believe it is still allowed to extend a dock if you have shallow water. When we bought our house, the most important things to me were not to be in the broads due to the rough and cold winds in the winter, no association, and no steep hill to the water. We also didn't want a tiny lot. Yet how can you beat the views in the broads? So what I am saying is you have to decide what is important to you.

Something else to think of is if the color of the water is important to you. Alton Bay and Melvin Village up to Moultonboro tend to have a brownish color. I never knew why? Minerals? Somebody else had mentioned this before and I was surprised because you don't hear of it often.
