Tanera Mor is the main island of the Summer Isles, an idyllic archipelago a mile and a half off the northwest coast of Scotland near Ullapool. Seven miles of rugged cliffs, sheltered coves and beaches - the island is 1.6 miles long and 1.2 miles wide, has spectacular views and sustains itself with generators and wind turbines for 24-hour electricity; plus, a freshwater treatment works.
Over the last 15 years more than 164,000 native trees have been planted in a successful effort to give protection to the land and shelter windswept paths.
The 10 structures on the island are traditional stone and include the main building – the Old School House – and an additional nine cottages, which have all been restored.
If the price tag is too steep, the island is also being offered up in three lots. For £700,000 you can have the entire north end, with three houses, a cafe and the post office. £430,000 gets a lucky buyer the central area, complete with two houses and the island’s largest beach. The third option comes in at £820,000 and includes four houses and the small islands of Eilean Mor, Eilean Beag and an unnamed tidal island.
