The world’s loneliest house, alone in the middle of a desert island

Pictures of a house with red tile roofs lying alone on a raised land in a deserted small island have been widely circulated on forums and social networks for many years. Netizens named it the world’s loneliest house and ‘introverts’ paradise’.

The house is about 50m2 wide and is located in a place without any signs of civilization. However, those who live here will experience a life close to nature that is hard to find anywhere else, sea animals such as seals because they often visit.

Billy Milliken, the real estate agent of the unit that owns this home, said: “The seals, seabirds, eagles often visit, the call is clearly heard at night. The house is located on The island has no trees, which makes the people on the island feel really small.”

The house was built in 2009, more than a decade old but still intact. Although in an isolated, almost uninhabited place, this unique house is still fully equipped with wifi.

The 50m2 solitary house is fully furnished, with a beautiful panoramic ocean view. Wooden walls, wooden framed windows increase the rustic beauty of the house.

Billy Milliken revealed that even though it’s right in the middle of the sea, anyone living in this house doesn’t need to worry about flooding. The house is built like a house on stilts.

After the information about the house shared on social networks, it attracted the attention of many people. Netizens think that the picturesque house on the remote island is the right place to live in the midst of the pandemic. However, choosing to live in this house means you will struggle with loneliness.

Many argue that the house was built by a billionaire, who plans to move there in case of apocalypse.

In a similar situation, the house in Maine is located on a small island in the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago, a group of islands off the southern coast of Iceland described as the safest, most deserted place in the world.

Elliðaey is the northeastern part of the island, where the lonely house sits alone on a steep hill. The island has been uninhabited since the 1930s. Until around 1950, the house was a resting place for hunters.

Icelandic singer Bjork owns a resort on the island and has even made negotiations with the local government to buy the island.
