Fresh start alert! A rare opportunity to purchase an entire remote Scottish island has arisen — and it will cost you just £80,000 to snap it up.

Nestled on the dramatic West Coast of Scotland, Deer Island is a unique investment for someone wanting a slower way of life. With no buildings, houses, schools, shops or amenities, it's perfect for those dreaming of moving somewhere with "zero chance of intrusion".

There might not be much human life, but it has some pretty spectacular countryside views, plenty of local wildlife, natural swimming spots and heaps of potential to be transformed into a family home. While the current seller is unknown, it was once owned by the Clanranald of Moidart dynasty for generations.

The under-the-radar rugged island – which extends to approximately 11 acres — is situated in an incredibly sought-after area. In fact, the neighbouring island, Eilean Shona, is owned by the sister of British Business magnate Richard Branson, so you never know what celebs you might spot.

      "One of Scotland's most stunning locations, Loch Moidart is a sea loch in the Moidart district of the Highlands," Future Property Auctions explain. "It's located approximately 30 miles from Glenfinnan and around 45 miles from Fort William and the Ben Nevis mountain range. It really is a unique investment opportunity."
