A remote island is for sale for £500,000 but there’s a catch…it only has a log cabin to live in.
The isle is in the middle of nowhere.
It boasts a whopping 88.7 acres (35.9 hectares) of land for the buyer to explore.
Mullagrach Island is located in Scotland and a boat is needed to get to the mainland.
It is a two-hour, 80 mile journey away from the nearest city of Inverness.
It’s the most northerly of the Summer Isles, a group of 20 islands, with Tanera Mòr being the largest and last inhabited.
Marketed by Galbraith, Inverness, it was purchased by the owners in 2006 and has a plethora of greenery and beaches, with cliffs and caves to explore- a nature lover’s dream.
It can easily be reached from the mainland by boat – with Old Dorney Harbour being just a 35 minute boat ride away.
The owners have made it their mission to improve and conserve what the island offers including ‘sensitive’ plant species and birds such as geese, kittiwakes and fulmars.
But the only building on it is a tiny wooden shack, as reported on Need To Know.
Planning permission for the eco-friendly cabin was granted in 2014 and it was then made in Switzerland, to really bring the best tech to the remote island.
Although only a wooden building, it has been cleverly constructed to cope with the weather on the island and also blend into the landscape- with a curved, heather-clad roof design.
Inside, the cabin offers everything you need to survive – with box beds, a kitchen to chef up a storm and a wood burning stove for cold, dark nights.
And the toilet is even good for the environment too – with your own composting loo, just be careful in the wind and stormy weather.
The island also has a landing stage and ground tackle for running mooring.
To get yourself out and about, exploring the seas close by – there is also the added option of buying the boat off the seller, separately.
It is being sold by Galbraith estate agents and advertised on Rightmove.
The listing reads: “Mullagrach Island is the most northerly of the Summer Isles, a group of around 30 islands south of the Coigach peninsula.
“The island, which lies approximately two miles from Old Dorney Harbour,, was purchased by the owners in 2006, extends to approximately 88.7 acres and comprises rough grass and heather dotted with wildflowers and a coastline of rocky beaches, sheltered coves, caves and cliffs.
“It has been the owners’ objective to conserve and improve the wildlife and vegetation of the island and to minimize disturbance to sensitive species of flora and its birdlife including, amongst others, great skua, kittiwakes, shag, fulmars and geese.”
