- Nantucket is an island off Massachusetts that is a popular vacation spot for the wealthy.
- Each year, several homes are offered for free — but buyers must move them to new locations first.
- Some free houses are moved to create rentals, while others get turned into housing for local workers.
The crescent-shaped island of Nantucket, located 30 miles off the coast of Cape Cod, has long been home to idyllic summer getaways for the rich and famous.
Nantucket's median sales price is $3.6 million, according to Realtor.com, though many homes cost much more.
