ISLE AU HAUT, Maine (AP) A picturesque Maine island inn is now up for sale, but it doesn’t include an attached lighthouse that’s a popular tourism magnet.
The inn property on Isle Au Haut once served as the lighthouse keeper’s residence and is being sold for about $2 million. The Bangor Daily News reports the lighthouse, which still shines at night, tends to attract tourists who will walk across private property for a look at the beacon.
Former inn owner Jeffrey Burke says it is a fact of life that people who aren’t inn guests will try to get a look at the historic lighthouse.
The lighthouse is not open to the public and the town hopes to go out for bids this fall for renovations.
