A PICTURESQUE private island off the coast of the UK is available to buy – and it’s just £108,000.
The stunning Irish Islands of Dunnyneill, located on Strangford Lough, are home to range of gorgeous flora and fauna.

Surrounded by blue waters and coated in lush greenery, the islands are located just 2.5 kilometres off the coast of Killyleagh, Ireland.
Comprised of two islands, it was once a former seventh century trading emporium frequented by merchants.
Owning the islands gives you the chance to buy a piece of history, as merchants from Russia, Germany, Iceland and France used to visit the island.
The main island is described as being “formed from a small drumlin with a boulder clay core.”
It sits around 16 metres above sea level and is roughly D-shaped.
The second, smaller island, has a steep cliff facing towards the mouth of the Lough.
Advertising the islands, estate agent Tim Martin, provides the following description: “This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of Ireland’s history on the shores of Strangford Lough.”
The island’s name uses the word ‘Dun’ which refers to a fort, while the rest of its name alludes to hostages – although thankfully the historic name is no longer accurate.
Those interested in the island can purchase them for £108,000 with no stamp duty – unless you are purchasing as a buy to let, or as an additional property.
Photos of the island clearly show the gorgeous greenery surrounded by clear blue waters, with an easy to navigate path encircling the islands.
It’s a great opportunity for nature lovers to make the most of Ireland’s picturesque scenery.
The beaches provide easy access to the serene water below – making it the perfect spot for water sports.
In one of the photos of the island, visitors can be seen pushing a canoe into the water.
Another shows visitors taking a dip in the shallow waters as they make the most of the island paradise.

One of the main selling points for the island is its gorgeous views – with one photo showing the breath-taking sunsets owners could expect from the island.
Sailors from East Down Yacht Club are known to travel past the island, with it being classified as a “sailing landmark” in the area.
Those interested in purchasing the island can reach out to Tim Martin’s Comber office via email or phone.
Over the years, the island’s topography and history have been the subject of study thanks to its unique geography.
The discovery of imported ceramics, as well as evidence of either glass or metalworking on the island, suggests the site was particularly important during the early medieval period.
