Ever dreamt of owning your own island? Ynys Gifftan, a deserted 18-acre gem in Gwynedd, could be yours for less than the price of a semi-detached home! Steeped in history, this island was a gift from Queen Anne to Lord Harlech’s ancestors back in the 1700s and is now up for grabs.
Nestled within the Dwyryd Estuary, near the enchanting village of Portmeirion, this tidal island offers a unique blend of heritage and natural beauty. Featuring a Victorian farmhouse, this property has been abandoned since the 1970s and is ripe for a transformation. Imagine renovating this stone beauty into your dream retreat, complete with panoramic views of the estuary!
But it’s not just about the house—there’s also a traditional stone outbuilding ready to be reimagined. The landscape itself is a stunning mix of rocky grassland and pastures, just waiting to be brought back to life. Perfect for those who fancy a bit of land management or grazing to restore its full potential.
Accessible by wading during low tide, Ynys Gifftan is positioned within Eryri National Park. It’s around 4 miles from the historic town of Harlech, offering seclusion without being too far from civilisation.
Listed at a guide price of £350,000, this island offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Welsh history in an extraordinary setting. Are you ready to take the plunge and make this stunning island your personal paradise? 🏝️🔑
