Via – Knight Frank
Here’s your chance to buy paradise as the entire Scottish island of Pladda is on sale. Without sinking into never-ending debt, Global real estate consultancy Knight Frank offers an incredible opportunity to a lucky dreamer to purchase their own island, complete with a working lighthouse, in Isle of Arran, Scotland. The Pladda Isle home includes two reception rooms, five bedrooms, and a bathroom. The best part is not the beauty of the dwelling, its unique characteristics but the fact that it costs less than a tiny London flat.
That’s not all; homeowners can flaunt separate guest accommodation featuring an additional bedroom, shower room, and a kitchen with a living area. All these niceties come for $425,000, which is baffling considering the exorbitant city prices for a small pad. As per Country Living, the bargain island includes a former walled garden extending to about 2.5 acres, a helipad, six acres of elevated grazing, and around 1,600 meters of rocky foreshore. City folks who are tired of the grind and jaded routines of daily lives can find solace in this pretty dwelling in the Isle of Arran, where little Pladda belongs.
One doesn’t have to worry about the lighthouse that was first lit in 1790, as it operates automatically and is monitored remotely from Edinburgh. It is also shared the house does need refurbishing and can work as a fantastic family home post renovations. Pladda is truly a gem, a breeding haven for sea birds like terns, gulls, turnpikes, and puffins.
