This two-acre property does not include the fully automated and functioning lighthouse tower, which is owned and maintained by the Town of Isle Au Haut.
The lighthouse station property's on the National Register of Historic Places. It is comprised of a seven room main house with four bedrooms and two baths, a four room house with one bedroom and one bath, two small heated cabins, two storage buildings, a large boathouse, pier, ramp, floating dock, boat mooring and 700 feet of deep water frontage on Isle Au Haut Bay.
Off the power-grid and at the end of a half-mile private road, the property is an ecologist's dream. Powered by state-of-the-art photovoltaics, a windmill and a 30-kilowatt generator, fed by unlimited crystal-clear water drawn from the sea by the magic of a reverse osmosis system, a garden-setting sewage treatment system using peat bogs and flower beds, this alternative yet historic home allows you to live with respect for the rest of the world. Includes a bio-diesel processor to make your own fuel, or use the complete system of propane, oil and diesel tanks and the home delivery services already established on the island.
Sale includes all furnishings machinery, tools, supplies, two vehicles, bikes and boats, including PAX, the "French-fry" boat-- a 25-foot 1950 vintage canopied launch powered by bio-diesel fuel.
