Historic Core, A modern Future

This beautiful Island community surrounded by waters from the SF Bay, Carquinez strait and Napa River, was once off limits to the public. Now it is experiencing a new life and an exciting new modern future. The Bay Ferry already runs a direct line from its shores direct to SF, a short 45-minute commute for lucky inhabitants. Mare Island Brewing breathed life into one of the old coal sheds and has been serving up good times and award-winning brews with stunning views ever since. Vino Godfather, a wine tasting room, took over one of the breath-taking old Mansions that line Walnut St. Visit them any weekend for a flight of wine and live music while relaxing on their sprawling front porch under an old magnolia tree. Down the way Savage and Cooke Distillery offers craft whiskey cocktails and southern fried chicken in an old Naval base building that has been lovingly turned into the distillery and tasting room. Visit the Island for The Wet mile and check out the exciting art studios across the island or take a hike to enjoy the beautiful views and amazing weather. Mare Island is a mix of old historic and industrial structures, new homes, and breathtaking nature trails. At the moment there are only about 1,078 people living on the islands sprawling grounds. The future of Mare Island is bright with a new home development in the works and new businesses beginning to enter the Island. With prices soaring and space limited throughout the Bay Area Mare Island is destined for greatness. In the last year there have been 34 sales. Homes sell in the range of $585k for a large nearly 1700 sf condo! To $925k for a new 3500 sf 5-bedroom home.
