Massive swath of UK’s Shetland Islands lists for ‘offers over’ $1.63M
NY Post
A significant portion of the Shetland Islands is now available for purchase.
Located about 110 miles from mainland Scotland, floating in the North Sea between the Faroe Islands and Norway, is the Shetland Islands archipelago known for its dramatic vistas, Norse heritage and eponymous small horse breed, the Shetland pony.
Now, a significant section of the remote region has hit the market and is available to “offers over” $1.63 million.
The listing, which is held by Strutt & Parker, encompasses a total of roughly 1,500 acres of land spread over three lots rich with agricultural land and natural capital, while lacking any residential development — save the remains of several historical buildings.
The first lot, Graveland, is the most northerly and, at approximately 1,160 acres, the largest of the three. It is extremely diverse, “remote in places” and includes numerous “lochs” (lakes), coastline cliffs and “a substantial amount of peat.”
The second lot, Gunnigarth, offers “a substantial area of coastal grazing and peatland” across some 336 acres, and the third lot is the private, about 12-acre Island of Holm West Sandwick.
