Unspoiled Private Scottish Island, Offering a Personalized Cave Dwelling, amidst a Community of Dolphins as Neighbors
Scotland's Untouched Island Paradise: Insh Island Up for Sale
Insh Island, a 90-acre private island in the Inner Hebrides off Scotland's west coast, is now available for purchase. Located near Clachan Seil, Oban, Argyll and Bute, this pristine island is one of Scotland's last untouched private islands, offering a unique piece of Scottish wilderness.
The island, known for its remarkable biodiversity and significant scientific interest, is currently up for sale through Savills with a guide price of around £500,000. This makes it a relatively affordable private island option compared to typical UK property prices.
Insh Island boasts a natural freshwater spring, sheltered coves, and wild coastal trails. It is a paradise for nature enthusiasts, with seals, dolphins, and various wildlife in the surrounding Atlantic Ocean. The island's lack of light pollution also makes it an attractive destination for stargazing.
The only building on Insh Island is a 'cave house' located on the north western coast line. Access to the island is only possible by private boat or helicopter, common means for islands in the Inner Hebrides.
Purchasing details indicate that offers are invited over £500,000, and interested buyers would likely need to work directly with Savills estate agents for viewing and transaction arrangements.
Insh Island is one of the Slate Islands and is near Easdale, the smallest inhabited island in Scotland, known for hosting the World Stone Skimming Championship. The island was previously owned by the National Trust for Scotland, which has raised some local concern due to the island's ecological significance.
