This is a rare opportunity to acquire an enchanting private island positioned within the Dwyryd Estuary, nestled in the picturesque Eryri National Park. Ynys Gifftan spans approximately 17.74 acres and features an unspoilt landscape offering sweeping views of the coastline and majestic mountains. The tranquil setting is just a short distance from Talsarnau village, enhancing its appeal for those seeking solitude or adventure. The island is conveniently located roughly 4 miles from Harlech, known for its historic significance and breathtaking scenery, including the renowned UNESCO World Heritage castle.
The main feature of this property is a traditional stone farmhouse situated on the eastern shore of the island, which requires extensive renovation throughout. This presents a unique investment potential for buyers looking to restore a characterful dwelling in an extraordinary locale. The farmhouse layout includes two reception rooms, a kitchen, bathroom, pantry on the ground floor, with an ensuite bedroom above.
Complementing the farmhouse is an outbuilding that could serve various purposes pending local planning permissions. Additionally, the surrounding land consists of rocky grassland and pasture that has become overgrown; revitalizing this area for grazing or agricultural use offers further enhancement opportunities for prospective owners.
With essential services such as water previously connected (though not confirmed) and a private drainage system in place, the groundwork for development is laid out. Such a project would not only preserve but enhance this island’s natural charm and historical value.
