A secluded private island featuring a single off-grid cabin and abundant wildlife is going under the hammer for £350,000 – less than the average price of a flat in London.

Mullagrach Island represents the northernmost point of the Summer Isles, positioned at the entrance to Loch Broom, and covers roughly 88.7 acres. Situated within the Wester Ross Marine Protected Area, it also belongs to Scotland’s first UNESCO Geopark.

If you’re ready to leave city life behind and live amongst nature, this could be the perfect opportunity. Nestled at the island’s centre stands an off-grid cabin, powered by solar panels, and equipped with rainwater collection and composting facilities.

The cabin is kitted out with everything you’d need to live off-grid

Through the sea-facing windows, visitors can observe the island’s wild terrain of heather moorland, rocky shores, caves and dramatic clifftops.

The island can be reached by boat from Ullapool and Old Dornie harbours, and features a purpose-built landing stage and mooring point.

Mullagrach Island will go under the hammer on June 9, carrying a guide price of £350,000. A bargain, considering the average London flat is currently priced at £522,153, according to Rightmove.

Mhairi Archibald, Associate Director at Savills Auctions, said: “We’re seeing good levels of demand for truly unique assets coming to auction, and private islands often capture the imagination. The sale of Mullagrach presents a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking something genuinely rare.”

She added: “With its scale, setting and ready-to-enjoy accommodation, we expect significant interest ahead of the sale.”

Iona Conn, Associate Director at Savills Residential, said: “Private islands offer a unique sense of peace and connection to the landscape, and opportunities to acquire them remain limited. Mullagrach is particularly appealing in combining that sense of seclusion with a setting that is both accessible and ready to enjoy.”
