A property in the middle of nowhere that has been dubbed Britain's 'most remote home' has gone on the market for £10,000,000. Skiddaw House, which sits amongst three mountains and 3,000 acres of land, is currently being sold along with its land, Skiddaw Forest, for an eye-watering price - despite having no access to gas or electricity.
The buyer of the mountain hideaway will enjoy vast land sprawled across the beautiful Lake District, but with that they will face having no heating or internet whilst water is sourced straight from the mountain.
The huge house in Bassenthwaite boasts six bedrooms and five bathrooms and is one of the largest areas of the Lake District national park ever to be sold, according to Andrew Wright, head of Mitchell's Land Agency which is organising the sale.

The unique house which has been described as the 'loneliest house in the country' will go under the hammer this week with offers closing on November 23rd. No price tag is given on the Rightmove listing but it is expected to sell in the region of £10 million, according to The Guardian.
Perched in the mountains at a height of more than 1,500 ft, the nearest shop is five miles from the house in the neighbouring village of Keswick whilst the closest pub in Bassenthwaite is almost four miles away, reports The Mirror.
The property can only be reached on foot as the road is inaccessible to cars, while the quickest route to walk passes through the village of Threlkeld and takes around one hour and 20 minutes.
Nestled in the mountains near Keswick, Cumbria, the house first hit the market in 2021. But despite being one of the most viewed listings on Rightmove, its isolated location and inaccessibility meant it did not sell.
Now it has returned to the property market, this time featuring an incredible 3,000 acres of land. It also includes sites such as Skiddaw Forest, Skiddaw Mountain and Great and Little Calva.
Skiddaw House is currently being used as a youth hostel welcoming 2,500 guests so far who are willing to travel to the building on foot, reports MailOnline.
The sealed bidding process will commence on Wednesday, November 23 when all those interested in owning the property will submit their offer to the auctioneer.
