If you think owning your own private island is strictly limited to the rich and famous think again.

You can follow in the footsteps of Richard Branson and Johnny Depp and get away from it all on your very own island right here on the shores of beautiful Lough Erne.  Join other celebrity Irish island owners including John Lennon, Louis Walsh and Michael Flatley who all snapped up an Irish oasis away from the spotlight.

Stunning Inisliroo Island is up for sale and considering private Irish islands don’t come up for sale too often this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to snap up your very own Irish getaway.  Situated just 500 yards from Knockninny Pier in Derrylin, the island comes with full planning permission for a new 2,000 sq ft home.

The Island is also an important part of local history with four generations of the Maguire family farming the island.  After the Second World War the island became famous for its fruit production and its orchard is still fully functional today.  The original family home remains and provides mains water, telephone line and electric generator.

Mark Leinster of selling agents BTWCairns comments:  “This is a truly unique opportunity as in over a decade of working as an estate agent I have not come across an island for sale.  Inisliroo Island has to be seen to be believed – it is a stunning piece of land with breathtaking views of Lough Erne.  Just think what you could do with your very own island – create a technology-free retreat, a nature reserve or even an exclusive holiday location.”

Located in an area of outstanding natural beauty the island provides magnificent views and has its own private jetty.  It is ideally located to take full advantage of Waterways Ireland allowing you to cruise all the way to Limerick.  It also has access to a wide array of watersports and angling.

Inisliroo Island is on the market for £600,000, for further information on the property contact selling agent BTWCairns on 028 90668888 or www.btwcairns.com.
