One of the most charming pieces of architecture in the country can be found in the quaint, little seaside town of Lüderitz. In fact, it is one of the main reasons we keep going back to this unreal, remote place wedged between the Atlantic to the West, the Namib to the East and two restricted areas to the North and South. The moment you enter Shark Island Lighthouse, perched on a steep rock just outside Lüderitz, the possibilities that this gem hold suggest themselves to you. The squeaky floor planks, the old French windows, and of course the lighthouse tower with the spiral staircase that leads all the way up to a roof-top terrace. The signs of neglect and non-maintenance can be seen all over this NWR property, but this only adds to your urge to buy it and turn it into a small guest house or cafe. The view from the front porch is so amazing, you can just sit there all day long and watch the fishermen without the slightest sense of boredom.
