Around 2018, the owner of Tanera Mòr Island advised us that she was taking her island off of the sale market for the time being. She will let us know if the decision is changed and Tanera Mòr Island island comes back up for sale.

BUT IT MAY COME UP FOR SALE AGAIN
THE UNDERNOTED NARRATIVE IS ARCHIVED FOR OUR READERS’ REFERENCE
Unique Property Bulletin ARE still keeping a note of email contacts from our readers in the event that IF, or possibly WHEN the owner decides to place the island back up for sale.
Tanera Mòr Island: The Main Anchorage & Pier With Several of The Island Houses In View

As of February 2020, Unique Property Bulletin and specifically our Unique Property Club (established in 1999) is in a position to make a Scottish Legal Form Offer to the owner so that they secure the sale they sought in 2016
If any of our readers would like to register their interest with us here at Unique Property Bulletin to own their own slice of this wonderful island in the terms described below, please can you…
Text your name + email address + the word “TANERA” to: 0757 2768 795
We shall then include those readers, friends and established members of our Unique Property Club within our group of potential island house owners.
Unique Property Bulletin has already owned a small island in 2000-2001. The mooring/access for that was very difficult and we ended up selling it.
But once bitten by the island bug, there is a heartfelt yearning to enjoy another adventure of owning and living on your private island.
Tanera Mor island is far easier to access than our earlier islands and has an excellent pier + harbour + anchorage and related facilities.
If you fancy living on a small private island, please check our regular Unique Property Bulletin website (here) so that you don’t miss out on alternate island purchases by our Unique Property Club. Our group of friends have a soft spot for Tanera Mor. But whilst this island remains off-market, there are others where the owners are definitely considering selling them. You might be surprised at how many islands there are in the UK and Europe for sale (privately and publicly) So please let us know if you would like to consider joining our Unique Property Bulletin island owning club?

A New & Exciting Phase In The Tanera Mór Island Sale – Focussing On “Lot 3”
Owner’s reboot the selling process with a proposed 3 way title split
We are looking to assemble a group of six people to buy elements of “Lot 3”. Once we have the full complement of six folk, we can then put together the appropriate paperwork and arrange for a bid to buy the WHOLE of “Lot 3”. This equates to approximately 43% of Tanera Mór Island. To date, we have four of these six parts now with firm buyers from our group. As soon as we have six buyers assembled for “Lot 3” we can then arrange for the solicitors to make the offer for this section of the island.
Would you like to join the current four and make this purchase of “Lot 3” become a reality? There are two houses left for sale. As soon as we can locate buyers for these remaining houses, a formal offer to buy “Lot 3” of Tanera Mór Island will be made. Curious? Just email us (here) with an indication of your provisional interest in buying one of the individual buildings. Also, we can arrange a viewing trip to the island for you. It is highly recommendable to visit before diving into a project of this nature. We absolutely and utterly love island life, but it isn’t for everyone. So you really need to go across to the island and view the houses first.
General Background: Tanera Mór Island was placed for sale in 2013 for £2,500,000. In 2014 the price was reduced to £1,950,000 for the whole island (here). At the rarefied price of almost two million pounds, millionaire buyers were few and far between.
In 2015, Unique Property Bulletin proposed assembling a group of 9 to 15 like-minded people to buy the whole island. This was to be via individual houses sales with a couple of acres of land attached to each (and the communal ownership of the rest of the island). The logic being that there were many more folk around that are happy and in a position to buy a detached island house for around £216,000 as opposed to one person/organisation to purchase the entire island at £1,950,000.
With the individual house sale initiative, we pretty much got halfway towards that total, but 9 houses and six smaller elements – on a remote, albeit magnificently beautiful island. However, even from our sizeable 40,000 readership, this was a big ask.

Fortunately, this earlier effort does not appear to have been lost on the owner’s nor the estate agents. We have been delighted at their recent counter proposal to split the island title deeds into three more financially digestible sections. Looking for thousandaires is likely to prove more productive than reticent millionaires. Since our last effort to assemble 9 to 15 individual island house/building/islet buyers, we have lost some of the earlier group (they went on to buy other property elsewhere). But we still have a core number, and also believe that the principle of individual house ownership is a pragmatic and viable way to secure what is, by any measure a unique place to live and visit – an exquisitely located and picturesque island.
With this new arrangement – the owner’s selling the island in three parts – real progress is being made. For our onward distillation of individual houses from “Lot 3”, we now have two firm buyers for two of the four houses available to buy; plus two additional buyers – one for the small islet and one buyer for the pier workshop in place. This means we are game-on to give this island project another go. Will you consider joining in? You can purchase one of the “Lot 3” houses on a buy-to-let investment basis, or alternatively a buy-to-live-in home.
Because members of our group have already visited and inspected specific property in the “Lot 3” section, we are focussing on that area first. Of the four houses, one of our buyers has specifically chosen Fuchsia Cottage – so that is off of the menu. However, the other house buyer is flexible, seeking a non specific buy-to-let property on the island. This means you still have a full varied choice of the Old Inn, and/or Rosslyn Cottage, and/or Port Cottage. The choice is yours…
The Old Inn – Click here to register interest. Guide for this house plus 2 dedicated, wholly owned acres, plus communal use of a large section of the Tanera Mòr Island: £162,777.
Rosslyn Cottage – Click here to register interest. Guide for this house plus 2 dedicated, wholly owned acres, plus communal use of a large section of the Tanera Mòr Island: £201,250.

Eilean Mòr, Eilean Beag and Tidal Rock – Unique Property Bulletin member has registered an interest to buy: £15,000.
Old Pier Workshop – Unique Property Bulletin has registered an interest to buy: £40,122.
If and when Unique Property Bulletin assemble four buyers for the four houses in “Lot 3” we shall arrange for the solicitors to present the current owner’s of Tanera Mór Island with a “Scottish Legal Form” offer to seek a positive response.
