Perfect for not having to talk to people
The constant roar of the motorway, the rumbling of the printer, the sour taste of the heavily polluted air otherwise known as the joys of the city that is all yours for the eye-watering price of a studio apartment.
Or, you could swap it for the rolling sea, twirping of birds and the fresh ocean air.
If you’ve ever thought about quitting the hectic day to day nature of modern life, then this lighthouse property might just be for you.
The building is one of four lightkeeper’s buildings up for sale on Copinsay, an “enchanting” island that makes up part of the Orkneys in Scotland.
Furthermore the seven-bed property is going for an absolute steal of a price at just £80,000.
Now such is life, often these kind of things are too be good to be true and that is partly the case with this unique home.
Due to the fact that Copinsay is an unhabited island, there are only two ways of reaching the building, and neither involve tarmac.
Residents will have to access their home sweet home via helicopter, the islands comes with two helipads which is an unbelievable flex, or via boat on the often wind swept and choppy North Sea.
Good thing a sail dinghy is included in the price!
Once there, you’d probably be disappointed to discover that the lighthouse itself is not included in the sale, but only the building where the lightkeeper would have once lived.
However, other included bonuses include two quadbikes, a shed and a tractor shed; the ultimate package deal.
One of the key selling points of the property is that the 0.28 square mile large island is completely uninhabited so its ideal if you’ve had enough of your noisy neighbours or just can’t stand people in general.
The building is listed by K. Allan Properties who are encouraging potential buyers to “make their dream of living on an uninhabited island a reality.”

The estate agents have described the location as “a place of serene beauty and complete solitude” which offers an “unparalleled lifestyle opportunity.”
That is certainly not in doubt as the commute to work would surely be a difficult one via air or sea while the nearest supermarket is a lengthy journey away.
Described as a “charming-two story structure” the building has “modern conveniences” to “ensure comfortable living in this remote paradise.”
One thing is for sure, if you decide to move in you won’t have to worry about cold callers, students next door or gridlocked traffic on your very own deserted island.
