A Scottish Island for Sale! It's Self-sufficient and Wi-Fi Ready

Ever wanted to try a different kind of lifestyle, living beyond the busy streets of the city and cuddling into an island paradise? Then here's a good offer: Tanera Mor is for sale, and you can even buy the whole island or just a slice of it. 

A Scottish island, Tanera Mor is the only inhabited island of the Summer Isles. It is roughly 800 acres, 1.6 miles long, and 1.2 miles wide, with around seven miles of rugged cliffs and astonishing coves and beaches that can be all yours at $2.3 million. Yes, the whole island is for sale, and it's been on the market since 2013.

Tanera Mor is tagged as a self-sufficient island by TreeHugger since it can provide basic necessities of the settlers. For instance, the island has its own 24-hour electricity, sourced from wind turbines and generators. It also has freshwater treatment, an operational postal office with its own postage stamps, communication line, and broadband.

The sale of the island, currently owned by the Wilder family, can be negotiated, wherein you can buy just a portion of the property. According to John Bound, who is the family's partner in selling the island under CKD Galbraith agents, the new strategy may provide more chances for buyers to acquire the property.

"The sale of Tanera Mòr offered now as a whole or in three separate lots adds an exciting dynamic to the sale of this idyllic island as it now allows a number of interested parties the chance to tap into island life. Each lot offers comfortable family living with some established and potential business opportunities. We believe that by offering Tanera Mòr in lots we will attract potential buyers who are looking to buy into the idyllic island lifestyle," Bound explained in BBC.

For the northern portion, the selling price tips $850,000. This includes the post office, three stone houses, and a café. The central area, including the biggest portion of the island's beach with two houses, totals to $523,000. On the other hand, the remaining portion, which has four houses and three islets, are being sold for $937,000.
