Real Estate magnate David Johnson owns 2,204 acres (9 km2) on the isolated 3,400 acres (14 km2) Lake Michigan island 25 miles (40 km) west of the Leelanau County coast.
He has built a paved runway and a residence and Johnson's company Victor international Corporation maintains documentation of the island's development.
He had originally proposed swapping North Fox Island with the state for the third of South Fox that he did not own, but he settled in 2003 for a consolidation deal which traded 218 acres (0.9 km2) of state owned land on the southern part of South Fox for 219 acres (0.9 km2) on the north and central parts of the same island. This deal was finalized in March 2003.
