Description

Imagine living on this stunning uninhabited island, a place of serene beauty and complete solitude. Copinsay, one of the enchanting Orkney Islands off the east coast of mainland Scotland, offers an unparalleled lifestyle opportunity. This property within this uninhabited island is now available for those seeking an extraordinary retreat. Requiring renovation works, this property presents the perfect opportunity for someone seeking a solitary lifestyle with a blank canvas to create a space they can truly call their home.

The main building, a charming two-story structure, serves as a perfect haven for those desiring solitude or an extraordinary getaway. Complementing the main house are practical outbuildings, including a shed by the pier and a tractor shed, providing ample storage space.

Modern conveniences ensure comfortable living in this remote paradise. Benefit from a fully restored private well, complete with a generator-operated electric pump, ensuring a reliable water supply. The property is equipped with Calor gas heating for cozy comfort. Solar panels, which require fitting onto the property, will harness the power of the sun, and large storage batteries ensure consistent electricity availability. With previously approved planning permission (which has now lapsed) for a wind turbine between the helipad and the house, there's significant potential to expand your eco-friendly living setup.

Exclusive access and transportation are assured with the convenience of two helicopter pads, which is beneficial for those looking to learn to fly. Additionally, the property includes two quad bikes and a Pico sailing dinghy, enhancing your exploration and enjoyment of the island.

Living on Copinsay offers a unique lifestyle marked by peace, privacy, and a deep connection with nature. This secluded paradise is ideal for a private retreat, offering an escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life with unparalleled tranquility. Embrace sustainable living with existing solar infrastructure and potential for wind energy.

This rare opportunity to own a piece of the Orkney Islands is a blank canvas awaiting your vision. Whether you seek a personal sanctuary, an eco-living project, or a unique investment, Copinsay promises an extraordinary lifestyle.

Make your dream of living on an uninhabited island a reality with Copinsay, where the allure of solitude meets modern convenience. Your island paradise awaits.
