An unusual sale. In Scotland, the island of Shuna, which includes a castle in ruins, is on sale at a price of 5.5 million pounds sterling, or around 6.4 million euros, they report several media, including CNN and Sky News.
Arrested for the same family for 80 years, the island has been put on sale by Knight Frank and international real estate agencies of Sotheby’s International. One of the real estate agents, Tom Stewart-More, explained to CNN that this island distinguished itself from others, particularly thanks to its size. In fact, the piece of land extends more than 445,1542 hectares. If some private islands are difficult to access in Scotland, Shuna Island is much more accessible.
“It’s just 30 minutes of helicopter flight from Glasgow airport,” said the real estate agent.
Indigenous forests, pastures, parks … The island is home to many advantages, including sand beaches and several hills that offer “incredible views in all directions,” describes Tom Stewart-More.
“The view is really impressive”
On the side of the homes, eight residential properties are found on the island, seven of which are used as vacation rentals.
On the site, the territory also has the ruins of a castle built in the early twentieth century by George Buckley, a former New Zealand soldier. “The view is really impressive,” he told the American media, adding that future owners will be able to rebuild the land, if the latter have a valid construction permit.
If the island of Shuna has been on the market for less than two weeks, the offer already arouses a great interest of many buyers from all over the world. At the moment, the real estate agent has identified two types of future owners: those who see the island as personal and those who seek to develop their vacation rental.
The second real estate agency in charge of the sale, Sotheby’s International Realty, told Sky News that the island was a “really rare offer, rich in heritage, natural wonders and possibilities.”
