Purportedly won in a bet, the Bay Area’s only private island is up for sale with an asking price of $25 million.
A tour of one of Chris Lim’s real estate listings in the San Francisco Bay Area requires a trip on the water. As the former president of Christie’s International Real Estate, he’s had his fair share of unique listings.
“I’ve been selling real estate for 21 years. I love a really interesting challenge,” he said. “A fire house, a church, a parking spot.”
But a $25,000,000 private island?
“This is my very first,” he said.
Lim is the listing agent for the only private island in the San Francisco Bay: Red Rock Island. It’s the giant rock that sits a stone’s throw away from the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. It’s a place most people in the Bay Area know of, but know little to nothing about.
Just ask Armando Flores, the CEO of North Bay Charters & Marine Services, who makes his living taking people out on the water.
