_Entire Scottish island, including a lighthouse and 5 bedroom house, for sale for £350k

If you’re really looking to get away from it all, Pladda Island offers the ultimate in privacy and solitude. It’s available to buy now for offers in excess of £350,000.

The remote, teardrop-shaped island is around 1km long and lies off the south coast of Arran on Scotland’s Atlantic Coast. On its 28 acres sits a white lighthouse, a former lighthouse keeper’s accommodation, and several outbuildings.

The lighthouse was first lit in October 1790 and automated in 1990. Recent years have seen the buildings fall out of use, meaning there's exciting potential here for redevelopment. The main house, along with its 5 bedrooms, has two reception rooms, a kitchen/dining room and gardens that were once used for growing fruit and vegetables. 

One of the outbuildings adjoining the main property has a bedroom, shower and kitchenette/seating area, while another once served as the now-defunct generator room.

The views from the lighthouse look out to Aisla Craig and the Kintyre Peninsula. On a clear day there are views of Northern Ireland to the south.

The island itself is accessible by boat or helicopter, with a helipad and sheltered concrete jetty, single-room bothy and boat house halfway up its eastern shore. A journey to the Scottish mainland by ferry takes just under 1 hour.

The closing date for offers on Pladda Island is 12pm on Thursday, September 29th.
