6Irish Private Islands
From around €450,000 in current market listings
Ireland occasionally produces some of Europe’s most intriguing affordable private-island opportunities.
One current island-market listing is Inis Saimer, an Irish island listed at €450,000. It is only around one acre, demonstrating an important point about the lower end of the private-island market: affordability often means sacrificing size.
Irish islands are more about dramatic Atlantic scenery than tropical beaches. Expect rugged coastlines, green landscapes and a much cooler climate.
For buyers interested in an unusual retreat rather than a summer beach destination, Ireland can be one of Europe’s more accessible island markets.
