You could call a ‘serene’ island home your own, the ‘hideaway’ features stunning views and a rich history – all for less than a small flat in London could set you back
Many people know the feeling of scouring Rightmove or Zoopla for a new place to call home, only to be frustrated that there is very little you like within your budget.
You might find properties that are too small, cramped, need a lot of expensive work, or don’t have any outside space, and find yourself negotiating internally over what dealbreakers you should be cutting from your list.
However, if you’re willing to look a little further afield, you could call a stunning island ‘hideaway’ your own – for less than the price of a small flat in London.
For just £325,000 you could be the proud owner of a private island, in one of the most beautiful spots in the UK and the opportunity to buy a property like this doesn’t come along very often. The “serene” island of Eilean Mor is filled with “wild beauty” and is located in Loch Sunart, and anyone looking for an escape to the peaceful countryside should consider this option because all 29.98 acres – that’s 12.14 hectares – could all be yours.
Bird-watching enthusiasts will be incredibly drawn to the property, which plays host to herons and golden and white-tailed eagles in the Ardnamurchan peninsular, located in the West Highlands of Scotland. Seals are also known to visit the island, making it the perfect home for any nature lovers out there who are looking for a bit of peace and quiet, all whilst enjoying the “thriving ecosystems” on the island that show the best of what the Hebrides has to offer.
“For interested parties, Eilean Mor represents more than just an investment; it is a unique chance to own a piece of Scotland’s wild beauty, a serene hideaway, and a historic landmark to be cherished and preserved for generations to come,” says Andrew Fuller, an estate agent from Bell Ingram who is marketing the property and looking for offers over £325k.
At the moment, nobody lives on Eilean Mor, and you would have to get planning permission to build on the island, which is accessible only by boat or a stunning causeway in low tide, during which time it is attached to the Ardnamurchan peninsula.
For generations, the island has been owned by the same family, who are now giving someone else the opportunity to make the most of this stunning “hideaway” and its “exceptional natural beauty.” For anyone looking for a bit of land to call their own, this “magical” setting, and “idyllic” spot, are bound to be attractive.
