For the libertarians among us who dream of building better communities:

The 760-acre getaway is complete with a stone schoolhouse and 9 traditional cottages all for $2.3 million (or in three cheaper lots).

Stop the presses! The best escape fantasy ever is on the market and could be yours for a mere $2.3 million, or about the cost of a Manhattan condo.

Tanera Mor is the main island of the Summer Isles, an idyllic archipelago a mile and a half off the northwest coast of Scotland near Ullapool. You want seven miles of rugged cliffs, sheltered coves and beaches? Make an offer! The island is 1.6 miles long and 1.2 miles wide, has spectacular views and sustains itself with generators and wind turbines for 24-hour electricity; plus, a freshwater treatment works.

    The island has its own cafe. No reason why you can't dual purpose it so it gives you the caffeine in the morning, and alcohol in the evening.
    Best of all, it's your island. No matter how drunk you get, you are still allowed to drive home after getting muntered.

    No you wouldn't, assuming the public have access to the cafe which would be a given.

    You could easily walk back though, given it's under 2 miles

      Sounds like communism. On MY libertarian island, everyone will drive F-150 trucks and roll coal at pedestrians. Live Free.

    The island has no roads, and only one poorly defined track. It's probably not a long walk home, (or stagger) but bearing in mine this is North West Scotland, getting lost outside might involve a nice case of hypothermia.
