If you've ever dreamed of owning your own private island, now is your chance. Sanda Island, located in Argyll and Bute off the southern tip of the Kintyre peninsula, has just been put on the market. And let me tell you, it's not your average island.
This stunning piece of land spans over 453 acres and boasts a high point of 23 meters above sea level. But that's not all - the island comes with some incredible perks, including a helipad, seven houses, a tavern, and beautiful sandy beaches. It's truly a paradise waiting to be discovered.
As you explore Sanda, you'll encounter an abundance of wildlife. From colonies of Puffins and Storm petrels to Razorbill and Manx shearwater, this island is a nature lover's dream. And let's not forget about the incredible views - the lucky owner will have a front-row seat to the Antrim Hills, the stunning beaches of Carskiey, and the Isle of Arran.
But the perks don't end there. The sale also includes ownership of Sheep Island and Glunimore Island, both located just north and northeast of Sanda. With these additional islands, you'll have even more space to explore and enjoy.
As for accommodations, there are seven residential properties on Sanda - four located at the northern end of the island and three next to the lighthouse at the southern end. These properties have been refurbished by the current owners and can accommodate up to 26 people. And if you're looking for a more remote and peaceful getaway, you can stay in one of the three houses near the lighthouse, with room for up to 12 guests.
For those interested in farming, Sanda also has a small in-hand farm with 55 black-faced sheep. And getting to the island is a breeze - you can access it by boat on either end, with two stone slipways available. The main access point is through Campbeltown, a charming town with plenty of amenities, including supermarkets, schools, a leisure center, and even a small cinema.
For the outdoorsy types, there's no shortage of activities on and around Sanda. You can play a round of golf at the internationally renowned Machrihanish golf course, hike the 89-mile Kintyre Way path, or take a boat tour to explore the beautiful surrounding areas.
And getting to and from the island is easy. Campbeltown Airport offers direct flights to Glasgow International up to five times a week. And during the summer, there's a ferry service between Campbeltown and Ardrossan, as well as a fast boat service to Ballycastle four days a week from April to October.
So if you're ready to make your island dreams a reality, Sanda Island is waiting for you. Don't miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And for more home and garden news, be sure to subscribe to Scottish Field.
