Description
Heaven on earth. Think of sitting in a luxurious living room with glass doors on all sides, looking out to a sparkling sea, a little boat harbor to your left, tiny islands floating in blue water ahead. The plushest green grass between you and the water, rocks at the shore ahead with a few swans lingering, and the ivy overgrown granite lighthouse tower to your right, reminding you at all times of the day that you are not in just an ordinary house, but a Lighthouse that dates back to 1868. Invite a few friends, take loved family members, and relish a week of serene living. Play croquet with bare feet on the soft green grass, nap when you feel like it, or shoot a cannon that dates back a hundred years before you climb five stories up to the top of the Lighthouse tower with cocktail in hand to watch the sunset. Cook delicious dinners in the open kitchen and be connected at all times to nature at its best. If you feel like action and sightseeing, drive to many lovely old Connecticut towns in just a short distance away and explore a culture and lifestyle quite different from the West Coast. Take the train to Boston or New York to combine some shopping in the big city with your stay at the Lighthouse, a place so beautiful and serene that you most likely will wish to stay forever. It is the perfect place to relax, take a break from busy schedules, and mingle with good friends or family in an elegant and unforgettable setting! This unique home is never available for rent and is only donated occasionally to charitable fundraisers by its very generous owners. It is valued at $6000 for tax purposes but is really a priceless auction item available tonight at Vistamar. The redeemable week will be a mutually agreed upon week in September/October 2008 when the leaves turn color and Connecticut is at its best.
