Want to swap city life for remote living? A secluded island situated off the western shore of southern Loch Lomond, Scotland, has just gone on the market for 500,000 the price of a London flat.

Inchconnachan is a relatively under-the-radar island, home to some of the best wildlife in Scotland. While it has been owned by the Colquhoun family since the 14th century, the island has been uninhabited for the last 20 years and it could now be yours.

With just a few crumbling building remains left, it's the perfect opportunity for anyone looking for a challenging development project. There is a derelict Colonial-style timber bungalow dating from the 1920s on the island, but also planning permission consent for new owners to build a lodge, boat house and pier.

It also has numerous secluded bays, an ancient woodland, uninterrupted views and is less than 25 miles to Glasgow Airport.

The island is both an Area of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Area of Conservation, surrounded by spectacular mountain ranges. While there is not much human life on the island, it provides plenty for owners to enjoy, including wake-boarding, sailing, mountain-biking, kayaking, angling and hill walking.

'This is an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a beautiful and completely private, yet accessible, retreat and create a wonderful new residence there,' says Cameron Ewer from Savills. 'For those seeking peace and seclusion, yet wanting all that this part of Scotland has to offer in the way of nature and water-based sport and activities, this is surely the ultimate prize.'

Tom Stewart-Moore from Knight Frank adds: 'To be able to build your own house on your own private island but yet in a very accessible and beautiful part of the country will be a dream for many and is likely to have global appeal.'

Inchconnachan island is currently on the market for 500,000. Contact the team at Savills on 01412487342 if you are interested in placing an offer.
