Title: Any houses coming on the market Shetland/Orkney?
Post by: LeanneR88 on July 05, 2021, 02:50:05 pm: Looking to see if anyone has any properties with land to come on the market in Shetland or Orkney (I know how remote it is and would suit me fine)

Enough land needed to keep my horses, sheep and ideally rear some cattle.

Don't mind something that needs modernising, or that could be sold privately.

I have seen much cheaper than that though.
I wish we had prices like that over here 😕

152 acres for £95k!!!

Including an old house and a church. Both needing renovation however. It does have grid electricity and own water supply.

If it has fast Internet connected I wouldn't mind moving there myself :roflanim:

So Orkney is becoming the new Cornwall (of the North) then.... loads of blow-ins arriving?
