That place is beautiful and all, but not $5.5 million beautiful...

We have a little 512 square foot camp in the middle of the Honey Island Swamp I'd rather deal with...

Doesn't have enough shaded porch area for me. Where would you fish from?

If you're $5.5 million dollar rich, the place has a lot to offer. 2 generators, 30000 gal fresh water storage, hot and cold storage, and a full management staff. There's not much you have to deal with.

The walk ways down the sides are actually quite wide. Two men can pass no issues. that whole area between the two camps is open too.

He is part of Nelson Brothers, a chemical company most known for commercial explosives manufacturing, or at least emulsifiers and other ingredients. They are based just NW of Birmingham and pretty big in the mining industry. I think this camp was used in part to wine and dine clients and employees.
