NO ROWDY neighbours keeping you up at night. A view that we could only dream of.

Welcome to the most isolated house in the world.

Perched on the beautiful island of Elliðaey, part of the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago south of Iceland, this house has a fascinating history that’s shrouded in mystery.

It’s believed that five families lived here more than 300 years ago in huts and hunted puffins (birds), as well as raising cattle.

However, it wasn’t to last. Life so far away from civilisation simply became too impractical and the families trickled away. By the 1930s the island was abandoned.

Then, in the decades following, the former residents of Elliðaey found there weren’t better places for hunting puffins.

They wanted to return, so a lodge was built on the island for them to use during puffin hunting missions.

In an intriguing twist, rumours were fired around the internet that the island has since been gifted to the singer Bjork by Iceland’s government for putting the country on the international radar. But we hear that’s not actually the case.

So while little is known about this house, it has definitely captivated our imaginations.
