If you’ve always have wondered about moving to Scotland – or packing up the city for something more peaceful – these lighthouse keeper’s buildings could be for you.
There are four lightkeeper’s buildings for sale on Copinsay, one of the Orkney Isles, for the budget price of just £80,000.
And you got a whole lot of bang for your buck.
Described as the ‘renovation opportunity of a lifetime’, the two-storey main building has seven bedrooms – plenty of rooms for all the family.
Then there are also two out buildings, including a shed and tractor shed – as well as two helicopter pads, so you have no issue getting to the mainland.
You also get two quad bikes and a sailing dinghy included in the price to ‘enhance exploration and enjoyment of the island.’
Copinsay as an ‘enchanting’ island, off the east coast of Scotland and is perfect for anyone looking for a slice of escapism.
But there’s one rather large catch: no one else lives there.
Yep, Copinsay, which is just 0.28 square miles. is an uninhabited island, so it’s perfect if you want some peace and quiet – or perhaps you’re fed up with nightmare neighbours.
The listing, by K. Allan Properties, encourages potential buyers to ‘make their dream of living on an uninhabited island a reality.’
Getting off the island also isn’t easy, as the mainland is only accessible by sea or air.
Another thing – the lighthouse itself is not included in the sale, as it’s owned and controlled remotely by the Northern Lighthouse Board from its headquarters in Edinburgh.
And, if the pictures are anything to go by, the interiors could do with a bit of TLC.
But, if you’re looking for a fresh start and are craving a bit of peace and quiet, this ‘secluded’ paradise, as the listing coins it, could be right up your street.
‘Offering an escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life with unparalleled tranquility’, you can really connect with nature, should you make this unique lifestyle move.
