Properties
When Paul Malo created Thousand Islands Life in 2005, he did so with a hope that much of the "past" would be appreciated. He wrote at that time:
"In the interest of finding appreciative stewards of historic properties, Thousand Islands Life presents some real estate of exceptional importance when offered for sale."
TI Life has compiled a number of resources to present these properties. Please check back to this page often as we add more properties and information.
