The current owner fully renovated the 5,625-square-foot home on Columbia Island, which includes four bedrooms, two baths, an open kitchen, a lower-level media room, a boat, and a barge, listing agent Patti Anderson told Business Insider.
Anderson also confirmed to Business Insider that the home is completely self-sustaining. On the roof are two independent solar panels that generate enough energy to operate the house, while a Reverse Osmosis Desalination system turns the seawater around the island into fresh, drinkable water.
