Can't have a place like that and not host at least a few snowmobile camps right? I'd expect and have seen thus far most places (in my price range) are not insulated or poorly insulated so that's something that can be done at a later time. I am weighing buying a lot and building myself which would probably take a couple years to complete but I could do it my way and be sure it's done right.

The mainland lots are still available in the winter for sledding activities. Many island residents come out. We know of 2 who come out by air boat during the in between times. Some places are not insulated but other like ours are like a regular house with insulation. I don't know the stats of how many are. If I had plans to spend much time out here in the winter I might consider a generator back up as I doubt that restoring the power in the winter would be a high priority for the Electric Coop. I would also put some effort into the water system so you could have freeze proof water supply during the winter. We don't come out in the winter.
