Island of Shuna, Scotland, ENG, PA34

Island of Shuna Scotland ENG PA34

Off the breathtaking west coast of Scotland, Shuna Island is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire a private island of extraordinary scale, beauty and potential. Held by the same family for 80 years, this remarkable estate spans approximately 1,110 acres and is now offered for sale for the first time. At the heart of the island lie the atmospheric remains of Shuna Castle, a dramatic early 20th-century structure with panoramic coastal views and potential for redevelopment, subject to planning. The island also offers eight residential properties, each with its own distinct character and setting. Shuna Farmhouse, a comfortable and practical home, has historically been used as the island’s principal residence. At the northern end, the charming Boat House and neighbouring Pier House enjoy calming views across Loch Shuna, forming a natural welcome point for guests arriving by boat. Further inland, Birchwood, The Garden House, Oakwood Cottage and The Forge are thoughtfully spaced for privacy, each blending rustic warmth with uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscape. At the island’s southern tip lies South End House, arguably one of Scotland’s most picturesque holiday homes, tucked into the hillside above a private bay. With far-reaching sea views and a sense of complete seclusion, it is ideally suited for hosting larger groups or retreats. In total, the accommodation comfortably sleeps up to 52 guests, making the island perfectly suited to multi-generational living, a boutique hospitality venture or a wellness destination. A working estate, Shuna supports in-hand livestock farming and is teeming with wildlife, from red and fallow deer to eagles and porpoises. Country sports and deer stalking are part of its storied traditions, set against the island’s dramatic topography of rolling hills, sheltered bays and rugged coastline. Infrastructure is both practical and forward-thinking. A robust renewable energy system includes photovoltaic panels, wind turbines, battery storage and back-up generators. Transport links are excellent, with a private pier, slipways and helipad, plus easy boat access from Craobh Haven Marina and Arduaine Pier. Helicopter flights connect directly to Glasgow and Islay airports, just 55 and 45 miles away respectively. The island’s central road links the North Pier to the South End House, winding past scenic lookouts, a once-cultivated walled garden and an enchanting stretch of sandy beaches and rocky shores. Beyond the island, the surrounding region is famed for its raw beauty, most notably the Corryvreckan Whirlpool, one of the world’s largest tidal phenomena. Oban, the “Gateway to the Isles,” offers supermarkets, restaurants, ferry links and schools just a short boat ride away, while the nearby village of Ardfern provides a marina, shop, café and vibrant community spirit. Shuna Island is a truly rare offering, rich in heritage, natural wonder and possibility. Whether as a regenerative tourism venture or a family estate, this extraordinary Hebridean island offers an exceptional life lived off the beaten path.
