SAN FRANCISCO
In a city with some of the highest home prices in the country, a private island in the San Francisco Bay is now for sale for $5 million.
Red Rock, a 6-acre mass of rock, sand, vegetation and minerals, was for sale for $22 million in 2012. The price was slashed to $9 million after there were no takers then dropped again.
Red Rock can now be picked up for the price of many homes in San Francisco, and it comes with a secluded beach, stunning views of the San Francisco skyline, and promises of great fishing.
There are no homes or other structures on the island. It is accessible only by boat or helicopter.

Composting toilets.
But with a Miami Vice style powerboat, what a way to pick up chicks.

But slices of it belong to both SF and unincorporated Marin County, potentially leading to a bureaucratic nightmare.

But it'd take a hell of a lot of ferries to get all those people out there!

(17,029 posts)could really build anything on it really. You'd almost have to keep it the way it is. Which would be okay I guess.. If someone was willing to spend that kinda money.
