One of the Bay Area’s most unusual pieces of real estate can now be yours…for the price of five million dollars.
The six-acre Red Rock Island, near the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, is the only privately-owned island in San Francisco Bay. It had been listed at twenty-two-million.
Realtor Steven Higbee says he knows what he would do with the island if it were his.
“Oh, I’d definitely have a house, a small harbor,” said Higbee. “There’s enough rock — I mean, the island is basically solid rock, so if you want to create a flatter area, you could build, you know a breakwater and stuff so you have your own small boat harbor there.”
The only person who ever lived on Red Rock Island built a home in the 1850s.
