Centuries-old Virginia lighthouse home hits the market for $450K— but you’ll need a boat to get there

He’s lighting up the real estate world!

A quirky, centuries-old lighthouse home in the Chesapeake Bay hit the market this week for $450,000 — but you’ll need a boat to get there, the owner told The Post Thursday.

The three-bedroom pad known as the Smith Point Lighthouse —  which sits roughly three miles from the Virginia shoreline — has breathtaking ocean views in an ultra-private location for the right adventurous spirit, said Dave McNally, 74.

“The most fun part is you get a 360-degree water view. It’s kinda like you’re in an aquarium with everyone circling around you,” he said.

“On a very calm night, I could sit and hear the air holes of dolphins open and close,” he said. “Owning this lighthouse has been  one of the shining moments of my life.”

But the wave-battered abode, which McNally paid $170,000 for in 2005,  also comes with its share of of wild idiosyncrasies.

“It’s out in a part [of the sea] that’s dangerous for shipping,” he said. “When a storm comes up, waves can get 12 feet tall.”

“But the structure is so sturdy, and it doesn’t sway,” he added.

To reach the house, which McNally and his family used as a summer home, visitors must enter by climbing a ladder between two windows at the rusty base of the structure. 

While living there, McNally generally took a boat to land every week to buy groceries — and once had a big vessel he dubbed his “floating pickup truck” while fixing it up.

Built in 1897, the lighthouse has four levels, with the first now serving as a kitchen and a living space, according to the real estate listing.

The second level has three bedrooms with a wave watch-room land a lantern room above that.

McNally said he initially moved from Michigan to the home because he’s a boat-loving “water nut” who “like[s] adventure.”

He now wants to sell the place due to the recent birth of his grandchildren, he told homes.com, which was first to report the listing.

Bringing very small children to the lighthouse would be too hazardous, said McNally, who is selling the house “as is.”
