Today the spotlight isn’t on a classic Greenwich Village townhouse or a luxe estate on the East End. Instead, we’re showing you an unusual property in Scotland only accessible by boat or helicopter. The luscious, 90-acre private island was just brought to the market for £500,000, right around the price of buying a studio apartment in Manhattan. There are no structures on the island but it’s ripe with possibilities, so this listing could be the dream for a buyer looking to bring their second home or business aspirations to life abroad.
Surrounded by wildlife, and waters swimming with seals and dolphins, the island could make the most serene, quiet, and undisturbed escape for someone who wants a legacy estate very out of the way. There is no light pollution, so the night skies there are breathtaking for dining or boating under the stars. Just bring your architect, and start dreaming of the houses you can design.
Not only could this island be an excellent chance to bring a one-of-a-kind family compound to life, but it could also be a great investment property. One could develop it into a Scottish wedding or event venue, an exclusive hotel or wellness spa, or a high-end glamping site—the possibilities are truly endless for a creative developer. Land of this magnitude at this price is increasingly rare, especially when it is bare like this island is.
Cameron Ewer, Head of Residential for Savills in Scotland says, “Insh Island represents a truly unique opportunity to acquire one of Scotland’s last untouched private islands. With its breathtaking landscapes, rich biodiversity, and potential for sustainable development, Insh Island is a sanctuary of peace and natural beauty.”
