A STUNNING island property is for sale for only £775,000 – complete with a swimming pool, it’s own jeep and a shipwreck.
The secluded six-bedroom property also boasts a games room, Jacuzzi bath and a dressing room.
The new owner can sit back and relax in the sitting room come cinema room – complete with projector and surround sound.
Or, enjoy a swim in the 17ft exercise swimming pool with a counter current – while looking out onto the scenic views from high patio windows.
And, the property house in Leim, Isle of Gigha, has some interesting historical ties too.
A stones throw from the newly renovated property lie the remains of a shipwreck – in the bay below the house.
The ship, Challenge, was carrying a cargo of timber from Canada in November 1880,when it foundered in a storm and broke up on the rocks of Leim Point.
The Isle of Gigha itself was purchased for £4m in 2002 in a community buy out – and the area has been flourishing since.
The stunning island property in Leim, to the south of the isle, is not only based beside an airstrip – but comes with its own off-road jeep.
However, the jeep doesn’t have an MOT – and is for island use only.
The breathtaking expansive home would be perfect for an island retreat or for a potential B&B.
Nestled amongst the dramatic coastline, a stones throw from the beach and with a private courtyard that includes a small pond- the property is not one to miss.
