Lighthouses have always held a special place in the hearts of New Englanders. They stand tall as beacons of light and symbols of maritime history. Their captivating charm and timeless beauty make them truly unique. Now close your eyes and imagine owning one of these remarkable structures!

Did you close your eyes? Did you picture what it would be like going to the bed to the sound of the crashing waves? And waking up to the morning sun hitting your face as you drink a cup of coffee on the front lawn in front of YOUR LIGHTHOUSE? You might have to buy a boat to get to one, but that’s the least of your worries!

Right now, you have the rare chance to own a lighthouse either for a price or completely for free, as long as you meet the requirements. If you’re part of a federal, state, or local government agency, or a nonprofit, educational organization, or community development organization, you’re eligible for the free lighthouse giveaway. Yes, I said FREE! To apply, you will need to fill out these forms and follow the prompts to the application.

If a new owner is not found, the lighthouse is offered for competitive bidding at auction. Previous lighthouses have sold anywhere from $10,000 to $1mil.

I’m serious, how amazing would it be to own your own lighthouse? It’s the perfect Airbnb rental property. It’s the perfect escape place for painters. “I own a lighthouse,” is the perfect conversation-starter at a party!
