And with a price tag of £190,000, it's a steal compared to the average cost of a London property, which was £532,000 in May 2024, and even the average cost in Yorkshire and the Humber, which was £209,000.

Fladda-Chuain is the largest island in the Fladda Island Chain, located just three miles northwest of the Trotternish peninsula on the Isle of Skye. It's a remote location, about 100 miles from the main city in the region, Inverness. But don't let that deter you. The island's 69.99 acres of land offer plenty of space for you to create your own little paradise. And it's steeped in folklore, with legends claiming it to be a sacred place where summer never ends and the sun never sets.

In 1851, a gold ring dating back to the 11th century was discovered on the island and is now on display at the National Museum of Scotland. And for those interested in history, there are ancient shipwrecks to explore nearby. But the island also offers plenty of opportunities for adventure, with sailing, scuba diving, and fishing all popular activities.

Currently owned by Goldcrest Land & Forestry Group, Fladda-Chuain has no human residents. However, it is home to a colony of seals and dolphins, as well as porpoises, whales, and basking sharks. So if you're looking for a true escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, this may be the perfect spot for you.

And let's not forget about the views. With the picturesque landscapes of Skye, northern Scotland, and the Outer Hebrides visible in the distance, waking up on this island would be a dream come true. The island is dotted with small valleys, peaks, and cliffs, and the highest point reaches 29 meters above sea level.

If you're interested in purchasing the island, with permission, you could even build a small cabin and live out your cottagecore dreams. And getting to and from your new territory is easy, either by your own vessel or by hiring a private boat for a more luxurious experience.
