For those dreaming of true escapism, moving to the countryside<\/a> might not quite scratch that itch \u2013 however a secluded private island just might.<\/p>\n

Insh Island is an untouched strip of land nestled in the Inner Hebrides<\/a> off Scotland’s west coast \u2013 and it’s now up for sale at a guide price of \u00a3500,000 (which is less than the average London flat price).<\/p>\n

The 90-acre piece of land is the very definition of remote \u2013 accessible only by private boat or helicopter and located a minimum three-hour drive from the closest city, Glasgow. <\/p>\n

But seclusion isn’t the only benefit this piece of land has to offer. <\/p>\n

With no major cities in the near vicinity, there is practically no light pollution, which means that the sky at night will be absolutely phenomenal and ideal for stargazing<\/a>. <\/p>\n

During the day, you can spot seals and dolphins<\/a> leaping through the waves and a host of seabirds flying overhead. There’s also a natural freshwater spring offering crystal-clear drinking water on demand, and caves, sheltered coves and rugged trails around the island ready to be explored. <\/p>\n

In other words, Insh is a place where to connect with nature in all its facets. <\/p>\n

Being a completely unspoiled piece of land, it also offers enough room to let your imagination run free on it. What will it be; a self-sufficient home for one, with a single house offering and the maximum level of alone time? A tourism-friendly wellness retreat<\/a> off the Scottish coast? A location for a film set? <\/p>\n

\u2019Caisteal Insh\u2019 is a cave located on the east coast of Insh, accessible by boat or even kayak<\/p>\n

The slightly smaller (60 acres), neighbouring island of Easdale, for example, homes a little community, with a Folk Museum, the popular Puffer Bar and Tearoom and the annual World Stone Skimming Championship \u2013 the possibilities are endless.
<\/p>\n

Cameron Ewer, Head of Residential in Scotland, said: “Insh Island represents a truly unique opportunity to acquire one of Scotland’s last untouched private islands. <\/p>\n

“With its breathtaking landscapes, rich biodiversity, and potential for sustainable development, Insh Island is a sanctuary of peace and natural beauty.”<\/p>\n

Insh Island is available with Savills<\/a> at a guide price of \u00a3500,000.<\/p>\n
