Have you ever dreamed of living on a remote island, surrounded by nature and away from the hustle and bustle of city life? Well, now you have the chance to make that dream a reality. A beautiful island, located in the Scottish Highlands, has just hit the market for £500,000. Mullagrach Island, the most northern of the Summer Isles, is a hidden gem with only one tiny log cabin as its dwelling, making it the ultimate getaway for those seeking peace and tranquility.
This island, which is about two hours away from the nearest city of Inverness, can only be reached by a 35-minute boat ride from the mainland. As you approach the island, you will be greeted by the vast expanse of 88 acres of land, surrounded by picturesque greenery, beaches, cliffs, and caves. The only inhabitants on the island are the various bird species that call it home, such as geese, kittiwakes, and fulmars.
The current owners of Mullagrach Island purchased it 18 years ago with the intention of preserving its unique and delicate plant species and birdlife. They have worked tirelessly to maintain the island's natural beauty and have ensured that it remains undisturbed by human activity.
The only building on the island is a charming wooden cabin, which was specially made in Switzerland. Equipped with solar panels, box beds, a kitchen, a wood-burning stove, and an outdoor composting toilet, this cabin offers shelter from the elements while still allowing you to experience the island's raw beauty. The design of the cabin blends seamlessly with the landscape, with its curved, heather-clad roof.
According to the selling agents, Galbraith, the island is a haven for those seeking to immerse themselves in nature. With its rough grass and heather, dotted with wildflowers, and a coastline of rocky beaches, sheltered coves, caves, and cliffs, there is no shortage of places to explore. However, due to the island's remote location, viewing is limited and can only be arranged with the sellers or a local fishing boat owner, who is involved in maintaining the island's structures.
If you are interested in visiting the island, be prepared for some physical activity. As there are no proper docks on the island, you will have to travel by boat and climb ladders to reach the island. Therefore, it is essential to wear appropriate outdoor clothing and sturdy footwear. The sellers also require formal interest before arranging a viewing, ensuring that only serious buyers have the opportunity to experience this unique island.
