I wonder what will become of his properties on Captiva?
"When he wasn’t traveling in later years, he was on Captiva, living at first in a modest beach house and working out of a small studio. In time he became that Gulf Coast island’s biggest residential landowner while also maintaining a town house in Greenwich Village in New York. He acquired the land in Captiva by buying adjacent properties from elderly neighbors whom he let live rent-free in their houses, which he maintained for them. He accumulated 35 acres, 1,000 feet of beach front and nine houses and studios, including a 17,000-square-foot two-story studio overlooking a swimming pool. He owned almost all that remained of tropical jungle on the island."
wouldnt it be nice if he made a land trust of it.
I have a feeling he might've done just that. Some friends of mine live just above Captiva, on Cayo Costa's Pejuan Cove, and they are also part of a 'trust' of sorts. Beautiful place, but the weather! And the skeeters!
