This private Delta island sold fast in California — for $43,000
A private island in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta sold for $43,000 in an all-cash deal.
The 18 acres of raw land in the middle of White Slough off West Eight Mile Road in Stockton changed hands less than a month after being listed and closed escrow in just eight days. Listing agent Monte Morris of Keller Williams Realty said the seller entertained seven offers in all on the parcel. It was listed for $40,000.
The property can only be access by watercraft. It had been in the hands of the current owners since 1986. The couple used it for recreation and family events.
Zoned AG-40, the land has no utilities or other improvements, but is available for private boating, camping, hunting and fishing.
Morris said the new owner holds other real estate in the area, including commercial properties.
“He’s very excited to know he’ll be the owner of an island,” he said.
