Here’s an idea that is worth pursuing.  If you like to live in a no-neighbor zone, sea breeze running through your hair and the sound of romantic crashing watter… this one is for you.  According to plans for the lighthouses, the Cape Hatteras, Bodie Island, and Cape Lookout lighthouses will be sold by the state to be converted into waterfront condominium complexes. Access will be restricted to those wealthy enough to purchase a condominium on the property, although citizens can still “view the historic lighthouses from the road” according to the state.

The lighthouses were meant to be viewed from a distance anyway, as that was their original purpose of signalling ships far away,” said the state in a press release. The new plan to dispose of even more historic treasures owned by the citizens of the state was greeted with enthusiasm by at least one public official.
