This one looks tight, but I'd bet that it's chilly there in the winter.
Poe Reef Lighthouse
The lovely Poe Reef Lighthouse is located in Lake Huron at the east end of South Channel between Bois Blanc Island and the mainland of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, about 6 miles east of Cheboygan. It is not named after the Poe we all probably think of at first, but rather, Orlando M. Poe, a lighthouse chief engineer. The Poe Reef Lighthouse went into service on August 15, 1929 and is comprised of a 71-foot tall white square tower on a concrete crib. Starting bids begin at $10,000.
A friend of my wife recently bought the Mine Head lighthouse in County Waterford, Ireland. It's still a working lighthouse and she cannot alter the exterior because it's an historical preserved structure. But she is redoing the interior and intends to live in it.
ReplyDeleteIt'll be an amazing experience, especially during storms.
DeleteSounds like a deal, but what are the property taxes?
ReplyDeleteIn my friend's case I think there are no property taxes since the lighthouse is still a "working lighthouse".
Delete30' waves washing over it during a storm would be an amazing experience.
ReplyDeleteLet us know if you find out who the lucky person(s) are that bought it.
