Borden Flats Lighthouse is Up for Sale
The historic Borden Flats Lighthouse is up for sale for those with deep pockets looking for a unique investment opportunity.
The lighthouse has been operating as a pseudo-Airbnb destination for the past six years after the current owner purchased it in 2010 and spent the next seven years restoring and renovating the property. (Since launching its overnight program, the Borden Flats Lighthouse sold out every night.)
According to its listing on Lighthouse4Sale.com, the 142-year-old lighthouse is five stories and runs on solar panels and a battery backup with a whole house generator, just in case. The listing states that cell phone service is “wonderfully robust” and cooking and heating are powered by propane.
The first floor features an entrance foyer, a kitchenette with a four-burner range/oven, a dining area, and a half-bathroom. (It should be noted that there’s no shower on-site.) The second floor is the living room, which features a 1910 Victrola with included 78 rpm records. The third floor is another living space that features a smart TV. The fourth floor serves as a bedroom with a queen-size bed, and the fifth floor is the lantern/lightroom. The interior space of the lighthouse is about 900 sq. feet, but including the three outdoor decks provide another 2,000 sq. feet of space.
As for the price of the Borden Flats Lighthouse, it’s for sale for $1.25 million. The listing website does note the property is “a fully turn-key, incredibly successful and lucrative overnight business” that includes a 22ft. deck boat.
Complete details on the property are available at Lighthouse4Sale.com.
New England Car Wash Chain Offers Pumpkin Spice Service to Benefit Charity
This time of year, you just can’t escape pumpkin spice, but a New England car wash chain is taking the seasonal scent/flavor and using it for a good cause.
ScrubaDub is offering a pumpkin spice-scented add-on to their list of services for an additional $5 to your car wash. Not only will you enjoy that fall aroma, but the money from the add-on will be donated to Community Servings, a local organization that offers different medical diet meals to those with a critical or chronic illness. Customers who don’t want the pumpkin spice scent add-on but do want to support a great cause can donate $5 and get a Simonize Ultrashine add-on to their car wash.
According to WickedLocal.com, ScrubaDub has donated over $278,000 to Community Servings in recent years, which has helped provide over 41,000 meals.
