Well believe it or not, now you can! The <strong>Boon Island Light Station<\/strong> is now currently available for online auction and is awaiting your bid! Located on a small islet off the southern coast of York, Maine, this lighthouse was originally constructed way back in 1855. The 133 foot tower has a tapered design and is constructed from ashlar granite that&#8217;s punctuated by two vertical rows of seven windows. Inside the tower you&#8217;ll find a circular stairway that leads all the way up to a door at the parapet. There is also a small shed located on the property which was probably once used as a boathouse, but today sits in ruins. The islet is situated 14 feet above sea level and is quite close to the mainland. The current asking price for this auction is just $5,000 with no bids as of yet! That&#8217;s a small price to pay for something as awesome as this.
