£2.5m Island For Sale, Post Office Included

It comes with 800 acres, a flourishing tourist enterprise, bird colonies, a post office and three jetties all for the bargain price of £2.5m.

The small Scottish island of Tanera Mor, the only inhabited island in the Summer Isles archipelago 1.5miles off the north-west of Scotland, has been put up for sale.

The 800-acre island is currently managed by Lizzie and Richard Williams, who took it on from Mrs Williams' family, the Wilders.

The Wilders bought the island in 1996 after selling their dairy farm in Wiltshire.

Tanera Mor: "A truly spectacular place to live"

Mrs Williams said it is time to give someone else the "privilege of looking after the amazing place".

She said: "After many happy years of calling Tanera home, it is time for someone else to have the privilege of looking after this amazing place.

Talks with the local community over a buyout were held but it has now been put on the open market after the Coigach Community Development Company decided not to pursue the sale.

Estate agents CKD Galbraith are now handling the sale and described Tanera Mor as a "flourishing tourist enterprise and superb family residence", with a guide price of £2.5 million.

It has nine residential properties, a cafe, post office and three jetties.

The chance to own a Scottish island is "extremely rare"

John Bound, of CKD Galbraith, said: "The chance to own your own Scottish island is extremely rare and with Tanera Mor's thriving tourist enterprise coupled with being a truly spectacular place to live, we expect to receive a lot of interest as it goes on the open market.

"With on-going support and commitment from the local Coigach community, Tanera Mor offers a truly fantastic prospect for interested parties who will very much have the island's heritage and sustainability at heart as well as a fantastic life style."

The island inspired the book Island Farm by Frank Fraser Darling who lived in Tanera Mor in the late 1930s and studied the habitat of its bird colonies.
