Small section of Deer Island up for sale
SUMMARY: A small portion of Deer Island, a 400-acre wilderness island owned by the state, is up for sale for $3.5 million. The owner, Larry Matranga, purchased a section of Deer Island in 2004 but has been unable to develop it due to infrastructure challenges and changing economic conditions. Several development projects have been proposed over the years, including a resort with a $900 million price tag, but none have come to fruition. Matranga remains hopeful that a sale could breathe new life into his dream of developing Deer Island, which sees 16 million visitors annually. Various transportation options, such as duckboats, ferries, or a gondola system, have been considered for access to the island.
The state owns most of the 400-acre island, but an eight-acre section has been privately owned for decades.
