Buying your own private island off the Welsh coast does not necessarily require a lottery win, but waterproofs are a must if you are to negotiate low tide back to the mainland.
Ynys Gifftan, a tidal island, sits in the picturesque Dwyryd Estuary just a stone's throw from Portmeirion in Gwynedd.
The 17-acre island comes with a Victorian stone farmhouse that was inhabited until the 1970s but is now in "need of extensive renovation", according to Carter Jonas estate agents in Bangor.
Archives recount how former occupiers in the 20th Century used to remove their shoes to wade back and forth to the mainland.
The guide price has been set at £350,000, just above the UK average house price of £300,000.
