A historic castle on the island of Fetlar in Scotland's Shetland is being sold for just 30,000 pounds (Rs 30,71,872), much less than the average price of a UK flat, BBC reported. However, there's a big catch. The trust said the castle's location would make it the ideal place for yoga retreats.
The 200-year-old castle is built on 40 acres of land and has folly towers, a courtyard, and walled gardens. However, the cost of renovating the dilapidated building means potential buyers may need a a whopping 12 million pounds (Rs 1,22,95,57,129) to cover the repairs.
The Brough Lodge Trust, which is responsible for the sale, has appealed for a "philanthropic entrepreneur" to take on plans to transform the site into a world-class retreat. Their proposals include retaining the existing building, as well as creating 24 bedrooms and a restaurant
''The vision is simple but effective, Brough Lodge… will be transformed into a world-class retreat that will delight all who visit it,'' the Brough Lodge Trust says on its website.
