Irish lighthouse on secluded island could be the perfect sanctuary

If you ever wish you could get away from the troubles and traumas of everyday life then this might be the thing just for you.

An island with its own cottage and lighthouse has been put up for sale in Ireland, with an asking price of €75,000.

The island, called Rathlin O’Birne island, is located just off the coast of Co Donegal. The property for sale does not include the complete island, but a portion of approximately 7 acres.

As well as the fully functioning lighthouse there are two cottages which are in need of some restoration and refurbishment to make them liveable.

However, if you have the time and energy required, then the rewards would be an idyllic secluded home surrounded by the natural beauty of the Irish coastline.

There is no water supply or electricity so it is not for anyone who is keen on having all the modern-day comforts around them. The only way to access the island is a short boat trip from mainland villages of Malinbeg and Teelin.

But if you are happy to live in a self-sufficient manner, then the sanctuary of Rathlin O’Birne could offer the perfect getaway.
