If you’ve ever fancied escaping the routine of everyday life and going to a remote island with no other inhabitants, now could be your chance.
Located on the south coast of Scotland, Barlocco Island is for sale, with prices ranging from R$960,000.
“There is still a very romanticized feeling associated with owning your own private Scottish island where you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy some peace and quiet in the most beautiful scenery around,” said agent in charge of the sale, Aaron Edgar of the Galbraith Group in a statement.
The buyer is unlikely to be a traveler. The nearest town is around six miles away, and the nearest train station is Dumfries, an hour’s bus ride from the town. London and Edinburgh are over 560 and 160 kilometers away respectively.
With lush green grass and rocky outcroppings stretching into the sea, the island covers an area of just over 100 meters, but there are no buildings on it, just a flood pond that provides water for livestock and wildlife in the winter months.
No one has ever applied for permission to build on the island, according to the announcement, so it would be up to the buyer to investigate development possibilities with the local authority.
At low tide, it is possible to reach the island on foot, by tractor or ATV. As for the rest of the time, there’s a pebbly beach where boats can be anchored – “the perfect base for exploring the island, swimming in cool water… and having a picnic by the sea,” added Edgar.
It is situated in a Site of Special Scientific Interest – an area in the UK defined as of particular interest due to the rare species of fauna or flora it contains – and is a haven for all types of wildlife, including great black-backed gulls. , and rare plants such as sea lavender and fragrant orchid.
The agent expects a lot of interest in this miniature kingdom. “We’ve seen strong demand from national and international parties for entire private islands, having dealt with the sale of several in Scotland,” said Edgar.
