Beautiful island has amazing views and three beaches but costs less than a 3-bed house
The price of an Island has lowered drastically and is on the market for less than £300,000 which is a lower than a average London flat - with three beaches and beautiful view A breath-taking Scottish island is up for sale for less than the cost of the average UK house and it's packed with beaches, forest, and jaw-dropping views. Eilean Mor, a remote 30-acre island located in Loch Sunart, in the Scottish Highlands, is on the market for £275,000 - cheaper than most three-bed homes and less than half the average London flat, which now sits at over £540,000. The uninhabited island is completely off-grid, offering total peace and privacy. It's only accessible by boat or during low tide via a natural causeway, making it the ultimate secluded retreat. It comes after a British man claimed 'I moved from UK to Benidorm – price of a pint and Full English left me floored'. With three cove beaches, a thick forest, and crystal blue waters, Eilean Mor is a haven for wildlife lovers and nature seekers. Seals, otters and sea eagles are often spotted nearby, and the area's protected status means its rugged beauty is preserved. But there's a catch because it's part of the Sunart Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Area of Conservation (SAC), no planning permission exists for building or development. Still, for those wanting a slice of serenity and natural wonder, it's a rare gem. The island has been in the same family for generations and even has links to historical pilgrimages dating back nearly 1,000 years. According to estate agents Bell Ingram: 'This captivating island offers a unique blend of natural beauty and historical intrigue, a serene hideaway and a chance to own a piece of Scotland's wild beauty.' And you don't need to give up civilisation completely. Just a short 3.5-mile trip from the island is the village of Strontian, which has shops, schools, a café, church, doctor's surgery and B&Bs. A bit further afield is Fort William dubbed the 'outdoor capital of the UK' - with hiking, skiing, whisky tours and access to Ben Nevis, the UK's highest mountain. And if you've got a few more million in the bank, another Scottish island is also on sale - Shuna Island, a massive 1,110-acre plot with eight homes, a ruined castle, a working farm and a holiday business, priced at £5.5 million.
