Buy your own islands! Three Scottish isles that come with 270 acres and their very own 19th century three-bedroom house could be yours for £1.5million

Three Scottish islands with an additional three-bedroom 19th-century house could be yours for £1.5 million – the first time the island has been for sale in 85 years.

The stone farmhouse on Torsa Island, Inner Hebrides, Scotland, is surrounded by land mainly used for grazing sheep and cattle, and is regularly visited by a wide variety of wildlife.

The nearest town is 18 miles to the north-east and the slate-roofed farmhouse is in a sheltered position, looking south-east over the mouth of Loch Melfort.

The house includes a luggage room, shower room, kitchen, dining room and sitting room.

The farm and its islands could be perfect for those wanting a digital detox as there is no WiFi, only access to 4G broadband.

The two-storey property is located 173km from Glasgow and offers the buyer ‘complete peace and privacy’.

The farm has its own water supply, electricity grid, private drainage to a septic tank and electric heating.

It has a face value of £2,400 and has an EPC rating of E.

There is no WiFi on Torsa, but the island does have access to 4G broadband.

Most of the land on Torsa is used for permanent grazing, with seven hectares of mature forest protection belts.

The farm currently has a flock of sheep of 100, managed by contracted shepherds.

The island is regularly visited by sea eagles and other birds of prey, and is home to blue hares, roe deer, otters and other diverse wildlife typical of the west coast.

There are also some wild birds photographed at Torsa, including the opportunity for snipe, woodcock, duck and geese.

The broker list on Savills it says: ‘Torsa Farmhouse occupies a secluded position with spectacular south-east views over the mouth of Loch Melfort, which can be enjoyed from the front conservatory.’

The island is steeped in rich history, with the ruined Casteal nan Con (the Dog Castle), located in the northeast of the island, believed to have been inhabited by various clans since medieval times.

The entry read: ‘The tower house occupies a defensive position on a rocky platform and was held by Clan Campbell during the late Middle Ages and used as a watchtower to protect the inland waters’

‘Torsa was permanently inhabited by farmers until the 1960s.

‘The island is being offered for sale for the first time in 85 years.’

The two-storey house has been modernized for a comfortable stay and the island has been used as a holiday rental.

The nearest town to Torsa is Oban, approximately 18 miles to the northeast, meaning the new owner can enjoy the peace and quiet, yet still have access to the mainland when needed.

The ad read: ‘An idyllic island with complete peace and privacy that is also easily accessible to the Scottish mainland.

‘The island offers plenty of opportunities to make your mark, with a range of traditional stone farm buildings adjacent to the farm offering opportunities for development.

‘There is a range of traditional stone farm buildings adjacent to the farm and although in a fairly dilapidated state, these have significant potential for conversion or a number of uses, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission.

‘Torsa is currently operated as a successful holiday rental business where holidaymakers can enjoy the charm of island life, whilst escaping the pressures of modern life.’

The house has a coastline of more than 4 km long and from the center you can enjoy a ‘panoramic’ view, where the island is up to 60 meters high.

‘From here you can enjoy panoramic views of the sheltered coves of the surrounding Inner Hebrides to the mountains and mystical lochs of Argyllshire,’ the ad says.
