Middle Ground Lighthouse is a privately owned, fully restored offshore lighthouse residence located in 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.
