A private island in Scotland is up for sale and its listing price starts at around $70,000.
GOLDCREST Land & Forestry Group recently put the uninhabited Isle of Càrn Deas on the market. The 22.5-acre island is located on the western coast of Scotland within the Summer Isles, an archipelago that sits on the mouth of Loch Broom.

While there are no inhabitable structures built on the island at this time, the lush green island reportedly has an abundance of seabird and aquatic life, according to GOLDCREST.
Isle of Càrn Deas also offers panoramic views of neighboring islands and mountains.
Sea-based activates the island can offer include sailing, scuba diving and fishing. Anglers have been known to catch mackerel, cod, pollock, coalfish, lobsters, crabs and more. The waters are reportedly frequented by porpoises, dolphins, whales, basking sharks and otters.

The island is roughly a 25-minute boat ride away from the Badentarbat Pier or Old Dornie Harbour, both of which are located in northern Scotland.
According to marketing materials, only small private charters can reach the Isle of Càrn Deas due to its shallow surrounding waters.
Buyers of the island will own Isle of Càrn Deas, but the land is also connected to the neighboring Isle of Càrn Iar through a shingle spit.
Isle of Càrn Iar is uninhabited as well, according to GOLDCREST.
