With 36 acres identified as construction‑ready and the remainder preserved in natural vegetation, the island offers a secluded setting suited to private residential use or future development concepts. Its Gulf Coast location provides uninterrupted sunrise and sunset views and a landscape defined by hardwood hammocks, native trees, and wildlife.

Preacher Hole, located just off the southern tip, is identified as a notable fishing location for redfish, trout, drum, and tarpon.
