(id:60457) Location - From Hwy 103 take Exit 5A onto the Ingramport Connector and continue to the roundabout at St Margaret's Bay Road (Hwy3). Exit onto St Margaret's Bay Road eastbound, crossing the Ingram River, and follow as it bends south along the shore. Turn LEFT off St Margaret's Bay Road onto Island View Drive. Then, immediately after crossing the St Margaret's Bay Trail, turn LEFT AGAIN onto Island View Drive (Extension). Follow it to the end of the pavement at the community mailboxes - the shared gravel road continues immediately to the right of the mailboxes. Follow it to the property at the end. Do not turn back at the mailboxes; the gravel road is the access. The gate beyond serves the communications tower only and does not restrict access to the property.
