- A shooting lodge in the Lake District has been listed as the "most remote" property in England.
- Skiddaw House and its 3,000 acres of land are now on sale for $11.9 million, The Guardian reported.
An almost 200-year-old house, listed as the "most remote" property in England, is going on sale for around $11.9 million, The Guardian reported.
Skiddaw House is located in the middle of the Lake District National Park in northwest England. It is not accessible by car, and the shortest walking route to the village takes around an hour and 20 minutes, The Guardian reported.
The house was a former shooting lodge built in 1829 but is now — at more than 1,500 feet high — Britain's highest youth hostel. It sees up to 2,500 guests a year, its website says.
It has six bedrooms, five bathrooms, four living rooms, and two kitchens, according to the website of Mitchell's Land Agency, which is organizing the sale.
Aside from having no neighbors, the house also does not have any heating or internet, MailOnline reported. The water is sourced straight from the mountain.
The property, which the agency describes as "the most remote home in England", also comes with around 3,000 acres of land, including three mountaintops called Skiddaw, Great Calva, and Little Calva.
Mitchell's Land Agency does not list an exact price for the house on their website, but The Guardian said the price tag is in the region of £10 million ($11.9 million).
"It could interest everyone from a grouse shooting enthusiast to a rewilder, and everything in between," Gavin Bland, a Cumbrian sheep farmer, who bought the property in 2015, told The Guardian.
Bland added that he's not too worried if the property doesn't sell, telling The Guardian: "If it doesn't sell, it doesn't sell … there is no point in me dropping my price. It will just be another 100 years before anyone gets the chance to buy it."
Auctioneers will begin a sealed bidding process on Wednesday.
