Local Light House For Sale

Winter Harbor Lighthouse on Mark Island near Winter Harbor, Maine is for sale. The lighthouse was built in 1856 on a four-acre island that can be viewed in the distance by tourists visiting Acadia National Park. The lighthouse was discontinued in 1934 and purchased by Maine resident George Harmon who also purchased Maine’s Pumpkin Island Lighthouse. It was later purchased by Reginold and Bernice Richmond. Bernice wrote two books about the years she spent on there, "Winter Harbor" and "Our Island Lighthouse." It must be a good place to write books since another previous owner was an author of children’s books and the current owner, William Holden, has written several novels. The asking price is $2,150,000.00 for the lighthouse and the island. Serious buyers only can email bholden9@yahoo.com or write to Bill Holden, P.O. Box 217, Winter Harbor, Maine 04693.
