Ever dreamed of owning your own Island? Well you're in luck as a tiny isle in Gasharsskaret, Sweden has just gone on the market for the same price of a terraced house in London.

If you've got a spare £1.2million to splash, then the idyllic 0.27acre island in the Swedish archipelago of Soderhamn could be yours. Imagine all the trips you could organise to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life?

Scattered with lush pine trees, the island's main residence, which is made up of a cluster of cabins, includes its own hot tub and sauna...it sounds like a dream.

Located 125miles from Stockholm, the main house boasts a massive open plan kitchen and living room with large windows that allow you to soak up the breath-taking views of the mainland, which is only 100 yards away.

The isle also includes another cosy two-bedroom timber cabin, so you don't have to be a castaway on your own island and could have several guests with you at any given time.

It also includes several piers and a jetty as well as a helicopter pad, meaning the new owner has two ways to travel to the picturesque location.

"This island is a piece of paradise with complete privacy," said a spokesman for estate agents Sothebys International Realty.

"It is set amidst the outstanding natural beauty of the outer archipelago, has everything you could want for a rewarding, relaxing archipelago lifestyle, including a view of the horizon that lets you watch both the sun and moon rise from the sea.

"With architectural magnificence that fits in perfectly with the sensitive environment of this island, this home has an unbeatable setting where you can enjoy the evening sun as well as the liberating view out to a clear horizon.

"Last but not least, here you'll have privacy and tranquillity despite the proximity of the island to the wide range of services available in Soderhamn."

Tranquillity you say? Isle be the judge of that... see what we did there?
