The 662-acre island includes a working farm and a private harbour.
It boasts stunning views of the Kyles of Bute, Cowal Peninsula, the northern part of the Kintyre Peninsula and the mountains of Arran.
And on a clear day, you can see the coast of Ayrshire.
The island is just five miles from Rothesay, 37 miles from Glasgow Airport and 46 miles from Glasgow.
Inchmarnock is on the market from £2million, and the listing includes a four-bedroom shorefront house on Bute.
The estate also includes a private harbour, slipway and purpose-built ferry - which is designed to transport vehicles and livestock from the island.
Included within the ownership is an area of pasture currently used as a paddock, convenient for holding cattle when they are being transported from Inchmarnock for sale.
There is also an operational agricultural shed with cattle handling facilities.
The farm consists of a fold of Highland cattle.
And scattered across the island are a number of traditional stone farmhouses and redundant steadings which are currently uninhabited.

With planning permission, these have been described as having potential for residential or tourism-related redevelopment.
Another particular feature of Inchmarnock is its many metres of drystone dykes which date from the 18th century.
The entire estate is being offered for sale as a single lot.
Estate agent Strutt and Parker dubbed Inchmarnock as a "peaceful and historic private island" that "combines an attractive shorefront house with a 660-acre island".
They added: "Its location offers magnificent views in every direction and, whilst peacefully situated, it is under 40 miles and less than two hours' journey time from Glasgow city centre."
