Land for sale

Uig, Isle Of Lewis HS2

If you fancy getting away from it all – really getting away from it all, this rare, exciting and unrivalled addition to the market, offers a fantastic bolt-hole opportunity for someone looking to escape city life and re-charge in nature on your own Island once inhabited but now currently used for grazing purposes. We are delighted to be the sole marketing estate agents bringing this fantastic potential that could offer a retreat providing a source of perpetual inspiration. The Island, which extends to over 100 acres, 34 metres at its highest point, is only around 400 metres from the scenic beauty of unspoilt white sands of Reef Beach and turquoise coastlines boarded by windswept shifting sand dunes and soaring dramatic rock peaks.

The enchanting Island currently has no buildings but has a natural bay on the sheltered east side which now includes a small jetty suitable for a rib or similar small boat. Located off the west coast of Lewis in West Loch Roag, just off the coast of the Isle of Lewis in Scotland, is notable for its history of past inhabitation, characterized by a complex coastline and is sometimes connected to nearby islets like Trathasam at low tide, with remnants of old buildings visible in the bay on the south side of the island (opposite the islet of Tràthasam) on the Ordnance Survey map of 1854.

Potential purchasers should be aware that there is currently a long term common grazing rights on the Island for a few crofters in Reef and Kneep area. We would expect there could be a possibility to resume the land but presumably would require the consent of the local grazings committee.

(Note that there is a smaller island also called Vacsay just off Kirkibost on Great Bernera.)
