    Island of Linga | A Shetland Property From NeilRisk.com



    A unique opportunity to buy an unspoilt 63.75 acre island located in the scenic and sheltered Vaila Sound on the west side of Shetland. Linga is located close to the Mainland with year round access possible. Shetland is the most northerly island group of the British Isles, closer to Norway than Scotland. It is a place of spectacular scenery and beauty with an abundance of wildlife. This is an exciting development opportunity with Linga having planning consent for the building of a pier and storage shed with reception area, new agricultural buildings, a two acre loch with traditional watermill as well as the rebuilding of the two derelict cottages and the erection of a new cottage. The planning consent also includes a windmill and solar panels for power, septic tanks with reed beds for sewage and rainwater capture from the cottage and shed roofs to provide the fresh water supply making it ECO friendly and energy efficient.
    I wish I had the balls to do something like that.

      I wonder if I could get a grant? I could take all my sheep

      But I would seriously love to do something like this. Often there are complete islands for sale in the Caribbean and other warmer places though

      Islands for sale.

      Have a look at Jost van Dyke in the BVI (Been there sailing, cocktails in the Soggy Dollar are excellent) or the wonderfully named Mowgli Island in British Columbia.

      Drool......

      Which reminds me, recently (last few years) a mysterious buyer bought out Mosquito Island in the BVI, just off Virgin Gorda and no one knew who it was - turned out it was Branson, this is only 10m from Necker and he bought it so that he can introduce lemurs from Madagascar because their habitat is almost completely gone and it will give the species a chance of survival. So I hear

        Snag is by the time you've done up all those tumbledown cottages you may as well have paid £4,000,000 for a 125 acre estate in Aquitaine
