Property Description
Hampton Roads, Virginia. Constructed in 1891 and still serving as a navigational aid, the lighthouse has
been carefully restored by the current owners while preserving its historic character. Accessible only by
private boat and surrounded by open water, the property offers approximately 1,251 sqft of interior living
space and more than 1,100 sqft of exterior deck space, with panoramic water views and a level of privacy
rarely found on the East Coast. Interior features include original heart pine floors, custom curved
furnishings, hand-painted murals, a private bedroom, additional sleeping accommodations, kitchen, mini-split heating and cooling systems, half bath with USCG-approved marine sanitation system, and an
enclosed outdoor shower. Supporting systems include rainwater collection, solar power, battery storage,
and diesel generator backup. The property is offered fully furnished and includes a dedicated service
vessel. Real estate taxes are currently exempt. Located near the historic waters of the Monitor-Merrimack
naval engagement and overlooking one of the nation's busiest shipping channels, Middle Ground
Lighthouse offers the rare opportunity to own one of the Chesapeake Bay's most distinctive maritime
landmarks. More information is available on the website. Do not attempt to visit property without prior authorization.
