The federal government is selling this Spring, the Diamond Shoals Light Station 13 miles off of Cape Hatteras, NC. Two floors. 5000 square feet of living space. 360 degree ocean views. Real fixer-up-er. All bids considered.

Clearly it’s seen better days. It’s billed as a “Texas Tower”, but it’s not an offshore radar station, and being inside territorial waters, you can’t even pull a Sealand.

I guess the only practical reason for buying this would be for salvage, but I do like the idea having one of these as an ultimate fort.
