About Property

Closing Soon! Closing Soon! Closing Soon!

 

The Penfield Reef Lighthouse (the Property) is an 1874 Second Empire Style historic structure located one mile off Bridgeport's Black Rock Harbor and is accessible only by boat. The property features a 51-foot octagonal light tower atop a two-story keeper's quarters (1,568 sf), set on a concrete foundation with rip-rap, a pier, and a boat landing. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 12, 1990, with reference number 89001473.

The Property remains an active Federal Aid to Navigation (ATON) with red flashing lights for both emergency and primary use, and fog horns that have a range of one nautical mile.

Due to the Property being located on submerged land, purchasing the lighthouse requires a 30-year submerged land lease from the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (CT DEEP). The cost will be 10% of the purchase price, plus a Certificate of Insurance that declares the State of Connecticut as an additional insured.
