‘Island paradise awaits’ – chance to buy remote lighthouse for less than a Glasgow apartment

People are being given the chance to escape the rat race and buy a lighthouse – for less than the average price of a one-bedroom apartment in Glasgow.

Situated on the beautiful uninhabited island of Copinsay, one of the enchanting Orkney Islands, the property is described by estate agents K Allan Property as an “unrivalled lifestyle opportunity”.

They added: “This uninhabited island property is now available for those seeking an extraordinary retreat. In need of renovation work, this property offers the perfect opportunity for someone seeking a solitary lifestyle with a blank canvas to create a space they can truly call home.”

With bids of over £80,000 this is a fantastic opportunity for those up for the challenge.

As well as the chance to live on the beautiful island, you also get the main house, described as a charming two-storey building that is “a perfect retreat for anyone seeking solitude or an extraordinary holiday”.

In addition to the main building there are practical outbuildings, including a pier shed and a tractor shed, which provide ample storage space.

In addition to solar panels (which need to be installed), two quad bikes and a pico sailboat, you will also have access to the helipads at both ends of the island.

The agent added: “Living on Copinsay offers a unique lifestyle characterised by tranquillity, privacy and a deep connection with nature.

“This secluded paradise is ideal for a private retreat, offering an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life with unparalleled tranquility. Embrace sustainable living with existing solar infrastructure and wind energy potential.

“This rare opportunity to own a piece of the Orkney Islands is a blank canvas waiting for your vision. Whether you are looking for a personal retreat, an eco-living project or a unique investment, Copinsay promises an extraordinary lifestyle. Your island paradise awaits.”
