Are you ready to fulfill your dream of living in a decommissioned lighthouse? Well, now is your chance! The US federal government is offering ten of the most picturesque lighthouses along the eastern coastline for free or being sold at auction. However, there is a catch. Interested parties must cover the upkeep and maintenance of the historic buildings in compliance with federal and local requirements. The General Services Administration is inviting federal, state, and local agencies, nonprofit organizations, educational and community development agencies, or groups devoted to parks, recreation, culture, or historic preservation to take over six of the lighthouses available free of charge. Additionally, the lighthouses must be made available to the public for educational, recreational, or cultural purposes.
Despite advancements in technology, lighthouses continue to capture the attention of people worldwide through their fascinating history and romantic allure. Congress passed the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act in 2000, and since then, around 150 lighthouses have been transferred, with 80 being free, and another 70 auctioned, raising over $10 million. However, Canadian residents may not find it as easy to purchase a lighthouse due to their rarity in the market.
If you are seriously considering the life of a lighthouse keeper, the US government is offering six lighthouses for free this year. These picturesquely stunning lighthouses are Plymouth Light Station, Warwick Neck Light, Lynde Point Lighthouse, Nobska Point Light, Little Mark Island Monument, and Erie Harbor North Pier Lighthouse. These lighthouses have an incredible history and have played an essential role in providing safe passage to mariners for centuries. Now, what are you waiting for? Start the application process and live out your lighthouse-keeper fantasy!
