A farmhouse on the remote Isle of Gigha has gone on the market for £775,000.

The property is very isolated – with no neighbours and beautiful views out onto the ocean.

Leim Farm, on the Isle of Gigha, Argyll and Bute, has a library and a games room, as well as a lavish 17ft exercise pool with a sauna.

The tiny island is only seven miles long, and 1.5 miles across at its widest point.

Only 160 people live in the idyllic spot, the southern most island in the Southern Hebrides, and it’s famed for its low crime rate.

The modernised house is on the market for offers over £775,000, and estate agents selling the six-bedroom home suggest it could be used as a posh B&B.

The home overlooks Leim beach and has a terrace surrounding it. It features a jacuzzi in the bathroom, a screen, projector and surround sound system in the living room, and underfloor heating.

There’s also an exercise room and the games room has a built-in pool table, as well as sinks and fridges.

Included in the sale is a jeep to be used on the island and a big garage that can accommodate more vehicles.

Planning permission is also in place to allow two self-catering buildings to be constructed in the courtyard.

An advert from estate agents Strutt & Parker said: ‘The property would make a wonderful home, holiday home or a charming boutique bed & breakfast for those seeking an income and the advantages of the island way of life.’

The advert describes the location as ‘a fabulous, elevated position, a stone’s throw away from Leim beach’.

It also said: ‘The property’s wonderful, internal courtyard provides shelter and benefits from decking, a small pond, flowerbeds and lawns.’

If you’re tired of always being surrounded by people and have just under £800,000 lying around, this could be the perfect property.
