We looked elsewhere on the lake, and found a flat lot. Are you planning on growing old on your island?

We are in our late thirties, but we do have older family members that would visit.
I did notice some homes had lots and lots of stairs to get up and down to the water.
I'm hoping what we find will be for the long term, but a lot can change in 10, 20, 30 years.
