Fulfilling a dream to someday live "off the grid", Kevin and Rebecca Kelly of Starkville, Mississippi -- with the assistance of Waterfront Properties of Maine -- recently completed the purchase of the easternmost piece of privately held real estate in the continental United States.
Abutting the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse at the Northeastern tip of the coast of Maine, the 10 acre parcel they purchased has views of the Atlantic Ocean and across Passamaquoddy Bay to Campobello Island, Canada.
Historically significant for many reasons, the construction of the West Qouddy Head Lighthouse was authorized by Thomas Jefferson in 1806.
Campobello Island is best known as the site of the summer residence of Franklin D. and Eleanor Roosevelt, who had a "cottage" there. This property has since been made into a park and is visited by tens of thousands of visitors each year.
Kevin Kelly is a graphic designer who owns Pixel Pushers Design Studio. Rebecca is Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at Mississippi State University.
They plan to eventually build their new home on this spectacular property.
Les Taylor, of Waterfront Properties of Maine, helped the Kellys locate this property and acted as the Buyer's Broker in this transaction.
