A remote private island in Scotland has been put up for sale, offering buyers the chance to own a secluded slice of the Scottish Highlands complete with beaches, caves and an eco-friendly home.
Mullagrach Island, located within the Summer Isles archipelago off Scotland’s northwest coast, has entered the market with a starting auction price of €405,000. Covering approximately 35.6 hectares, the island forms part of Scotland’s first geopark, which belongs to UNESCO’s global network of protected geological sites.
A Private Island Surrounded By Wildlife And Dramatic Landscapes
The island offers a landscape shaped by rugged coastlines, rocky outcrops, small bays and beaches, creating an environment that feels largely untouched.
Wildlife is a major part of the appeal. The surrounding waters are home to seals, dolphins and otters, while grey geese and seabirds regularly inhabit the island itself.
Because of its isolated location, Mullagrach can only be reached by boat or helicopter, reinforcing the sense of exclusivity that private island buyers often seek.
Eco-Friendly Living In One Of Scotland’s Most Remote Settings
Included in the sale is a small eco-house designed for off-grid living. The property features large panoramic windows overlooking the landscape and incorporates sustainable infrastructure throughout.
The house is equipped with solar panels, a wood-burning stove, rainwater collection systems and a composting toilet, reducing reliance on traditional utilities.
The combination of renewable infrastructure and limited development allows the property to maintain a low environmental footprint while still providing basic comforts for long stays.
Growing Interest In Private Islands
Private islands have increasingly attracted interest from buyers seeking unique tourism projects, second homes or lifestyle investments away from urban environments.
While access remains challenging compared with mainland properties, islands such as Mullagrach appeal to buyers searching for privacy, wildlife and direct access to some of Scotland’s most dramatic natural landscapes.
The island is being offered through auction with bids starting at €405,000, equivalent to roughly 20.8 million Ukrainian hryvnias.
