Embattled Point Buckler Island was once a Seeno getaway for duck hunting, formerly a top kiteboarding recreational spot.
Point Buckler island owner John Sweeney talks about the ongoing dispute with the government regarding his property in the Delta near Bay Point, Calif., on Wednesday, March 2, 2016. A tiny private island in Grizzly Bay at the edge of Suisun Marsh – once a playground for Bay Area billionaire water sports enthusiasts – is up for sale for a cool $75 million.
Point Buckler Island, a former kiteboarding destination and duck hunting club, near southern Grizzly Bay and across the San Joaquin/Sacramento rivers from Pittsburg, is now up for sale. The private Solano County island was listed for $75 million in September 2023. But state regulators accused Sweeney of building the levees and dumping debris into the water and ordered him to stop shortly afterward. They said that because the levees had eroded years earlier, the island had reverted to a natural tidal wetland and provided critical habitat for endangered fish like juvenile steelhead and Chinook salmon, which needed to be protected.
Any potential buyer would likely have to first figure out the cost of restoring the damaged wetlands and factor that into the offered price, according to a state Water Resources Control Board spokesman. “You see a lot of wildlife out there,” she said. “The views are beautiful – Grizzly Bay, Suisun Bay and it leads out to San Francisco Bay. There are wildflowers… It’s private, secluded and beautiful, and the views of the water are outstanding.”
