Rare private island near London for less than £100,000.
Are you feeling tired of the hustle and bustle of city life? Dreaming of escaping to your own private paradise? Look no further, because we have just the thing for you.

Nestled on the River Thames, just a stone's throw away from Bisham in Berkshire, lies the tranquil Temple Weir Island. This picturesque island is now up for sale for the reasonable price of £75,000. Yes, you read that right, you can own your own private island for a fraction of the cost of a house in the city.

This gem of an island spans 2,000 square feet and was previously used for mooring and private fishing. It even boasts a small underwater sandbank for the ultimate bougie experience. And if that's not enough, there are two other islands nearby, one with houses and a private marina, and the other connected to Temple Lock and Weir.

Described as a 'rare' opportunity by property agent Richard Maby from Savills, this island is truly a gem. Surrounded by the crystal clear waters of the Thames, it offers the perfect escape from the chaos of city life. And for those who still need to commute to London, fear not, as it is easily accessible by both car and train.

Although there is no house on the island, there is a charming pergola where you can bask in the beauty of your surroundings and watch the world go by. However, it is worth noting that there are no electricity, water, or drainage services available on the island, so some planning ahead may be necessary.

But don't just take our word for it, Maby himself raves about the island's idyllic location between Marlow and Henley. "There are fewer nicer parts of the Thames, and it’s just idyllic. It’s a magical part of the Thames Valley," he says.

If this sounds like the perfect retreat for you, you'll be pleased to know that the island will be sold through a bidding process. So why not make your dreams of owning a private island a reality and submit an offer before the bidding closes on July 5th?

And if you're not convinced just yet, perhaps a remote island in Scotland will pique your interest. Mullagrach Island, with its 88.7 acres of land, recently went up for sale for £500,000. While it may require a 35-minute boat ride to get to the mainland and is located in the middle of nowhere, it offers the ultimate escape from the chaos of city life. Plus, it comes with a cozy log cabin for you to call home.

So, whether you prefer the peaceful waters of the Thames or the rugged beauty of Scotland, there's a private island for every introvert's dream. And with prices that are significantly lower than the average London flat, why not take the plunge and live out your island dreams? Just make sure to figure out how to get WiFi installed so you don't become a complete hermit. We wouldn't want you to miss out on all the latest London news.
