A stunning mansion with 68 acres of land on an Inner Hebrides island renowned for its white beaches is on the market for more than £2.1m.
The epic property known as Caolas, which was built last year, sits on the Isle of Coll which has been dubbed the Scottish Caribbean.
The six-bedroom abode is close to the shore and has incredible views over Treshnish Islands to Mull and the mainland beyond.
The asking price comes with land the size of 52 football pitches and two wind turbines which generate a net income of 150,000 per year – a salary big enough to put you within touching distance of the nation’s top 1 per cent of earners.
The beautiful cream coloured mansion with a slick tiled roof and rosewood window frames is on the market for more than 2.1m; over 11 times the average property in Scotland
The enormous property comes with six spacious rooms, including the one pictured above, with beige coloured walls and a luxurious double bed
From the irregular shaped windows tenants will be see incredible views over Treshnish Islands, where Puffins can be spotted, and the Scottish mainland

The modern energy-efficient house was built in 2021 in a style which is sympathetic to the traditional houses of the Hebrides.
It has 3,039 sq ft of living accommodation with an entrance hall, open plan kitchen/dining room, family room, large utility room and two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the ground floor. Upstairs is a further four bedrooms and another bathroom.
The house is on the south eastern side of Coll, which is about 13 miles long, three miles wide and has a population of about 250 people.
The area is a site of special scientific interest and a marine protection area.
The island is a popular stop for yachts and sailors and is becoming increasingly popular with tourists. It has a wealth of wildlife and sandy beaches to explore and much of western Coll is an RSPB reserve.

The two wind turbines stood next to each other side by side. Coll has some of the longest sunshine hours recorded in the UK and is one of the best places in the country for stargazing

Euan MacCrimmon from Strutt & Parker Inverness said: ‘To live on an island off Scotland’s west coast amongst sparkling blue seas, tranquil beaches and rugged landscapes isn’t an opportunity that comes along often.
‘It offers that sense of escapism which so many buyers have been searching for in recent years.
‘But location is not the only priority, the term ‘eco’ is coming up more frequently on buyer’s wish lists. This makes this property so completely rare and unique.
‘With its beach location, the EPC-A property and even its own wind turbines, it is not often would you be able to tick all the boxes as well as Caolas does.’
