A secluded two-bedroom cottage on a deserted Scottish island has been put on the market for £175,000, complete with a boat for commuting. The property is located on the Isle of Horrisdale, off the coast of Gairloch in the Scottish Highlands, and offers complete solitude as there are no permanent inhabitants on the island.
The cottage has been fully refurbished and modernised in recent years, according to sellers. Estate agents Munro & Noble praise the high-quality renovation, which blends contemporary conveniences with traditional charm. The home features double glazing, LPG gas central heating, solar panels, a generator for electricity, and on-site water tanks.
Spanning over 80 acres, the island sits within Loch Gairloch and provides breathtaking views of the surrounding coastline. The property includes a small boat and mooring access, enabling owners to commute between the mainland and the island. Inside, the cottage offers a bright living area with a wood-burning stove, two double bedrooms upstairs, and a shower room. Outside, there is a garden space with storage sheds.
Estate agents are marketing the property as a “unique opportunity” for those seeking an escape from modern life. The listing is currently with Munro & Noble.
