Bear Island Foreclosure Sale

Many Bear Island lots, like mine, have a separate backlot that you buy along with the property. The backlots are restricted to water wells and septic, no building allowed. My lot is very small but my backlot goes back 375’ from the lake. Even if this home doesn't have a backlot there is a good chance they can make a deal with the person or association that owns the land behind theirs. Nobody wants to keep a neighbor from putting in a better septic. Improving septic systems is the hot topic on the island, much hotter than speed limits.

An engineered, compressed air septic system requires very little land and could be done on a small lot.

In a pinch you can have a propane toilet or composting toilet anywhere.
