Mullagrach is a small, uninhabited island in the Summer Isles, a beautiful archipelago on the northwestern coast of the Scottish Highlands. The island is located approximately two miles from Old Dorney harbour. This means that you can reach the mainland with a boat trip of about 35 minutes. This makes it the ideal place for those who want to experience the peace and beauty of nature without living too far from civilization.
LOTS OF WILDLIFE
The owners, Chris and Lorna Bown, purchased the island in 2006 with a clear vision: to protect and restore the island's nature and animals. Mullagrach is a birdwatcher's paradise, with species including kittiwakes, petrels, cormorants and great skuas. The island has a landscape of rugged grasslands, heathland, wildflowers, rocky beaches, cliffs and mysterious caves.
ACCESSIBILITY AND VISITATION
Mullagrach is accessible by boat from Old Dorney Harbour. The island has a jetty and sufficient anchoring options for a safe crossing. However, viewings of the island are subject to weather and accessibility. Potential buyers are advised to wear outdoor clothing and sturdy shoes, and be fit enough to travel by boat and climb ladders to reach the island.
During a viewing, the sellers or the owner of the local fishing boat, who is involved in the maintenance of the island, will guide you. This not only gives you a good idea of the island and the house, but also of the challenges and beauty of life on a private island.
INCLUDES ECO HOUSE
The only structure on Mullagrach is a modern eco-house that fits nicely into the natural environment. Built in Switzerland and installed in 2014, this tiny house was designed with sustainability and comfort in mind. It features a kitchen, a wood-burning stove, two twin beds and solar panels for power. Outside you will find a compost toilet and a system that collects rainwater. For drinking water you have to bring bottled water from civilization.
A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY
The Summer Isles, of which Mullagrach is a part, are a group of about thirty islands, with Tanera Mòr as the largest and only inhabited island.
The private island including the eco-house is for sale and you can bid from £500,000 (€590,000 equivalent). Still some money left? In addition to Mullagrach, you can also purchase a five-bedroom, two-bathroom villa on the mainland, giving you the perfect balance between remote living and comfort. For just over a million euros you can own both the island and the villa.
