I think there's like a 3 acre minimum lot size for the homes that post-date the land conservation movement - that's about $200,000 worth of real estate, down the cliff. Eventually that slide will form a minor point and add a new dynamic to fishing that spot.
If you've got a house on a cliff with a beach below it, I heard the Anderson Window Reps say in about five years the windows will get sand blasted to the point where they distort significantly, unless shuttered in the winter.
You'll notice that around the circumference of the island the shad bushes and trees are all stunted from the wind at about 9 feet, unless protected by a hill. There's lots of very unique natural occurrences on Block Island.
