Inchmoan Island, Loch Lomond, Argyll and Bute, G83

Private Loch Lomond island with ruined hunting lodge, ancient woodland and beautiful beaches.

Description

Inchmoan Island is around a mile long and extends to just under 113 acres. Arguably the most well known Island in the iconic Loch Lomond cluster. The name itself stems from its use by the Luss people as a source of peat fuel for the village fires.
Inchmoan Island, whilst not occupied, does have a ruined two storey, former hunting lodge on the western peninsula. There are no services connected to this property and it is not currently habitable. The Island is perhaps best known for its 350m of sandy beaches With beautiful stretches of white shingle beach (the longest of any of the Loch Lomond islands) on either side, on a sunny day there is always a perfect sheltered spot for a picnic.

Trees and plant life on Inchmoan include Scots pine, pear, blueberry, birch, alder, bog myrtle, gorse and rhododendrons.
This sale represents a very special opportunity to acquire a private island, steeped in history, within one of Europe’s most renowned and beautiful expanses of water.
