Moonhole

The Johnstons retired from an advertising business in New York in the late 1960s, and founded the Moonhole community on the narrow western tip of the island.

The bedrooms surrounded a central dining room, veranda and large bar made from a humpback whale's jaw bone.

In the early years there was no road to Moonhole, and people from Paget Farm walked there daily to take them fruit and freshly baked bread and to cook.

In 2004 The New York Times described Moonhole as "a quirky 19-home ecologically oriented development built of native stone, with whalebone accents, on the steep hills of the island's southern tip.

The houses, which rely on solar electricity, rainwater and propane tanks, are mostly fanciful open-air affairs with lines blurred between indoors and out.
