It has a land area of 516.4 acres (209.0 ha) and no permanent resident population as of the 2000 census, although several structures are present on various parts of the island.

The island was purchased by James Jannard, founder and major shareholder of Oakley, Inc. in 1997 through a shell company[1] and is still owned by him as of 2019.

[3] In the 1970s and 1980s the island was used for big game hunting; non-native game animals such as Mouflon sheep from Corsica, fallow deer from Europe, and Sika deer from Asia – along with approximately 2,000 exotic birds such as African guinea fowl – were brought to the island.

A hunting lodge, airstrip, and small hangar were built to accommodate visitors.
