Taking a good look at Google maps, it appears that boat is the only sensible access. There seems to be a slightly sheltered inlet beside the lighthouse. ask the Northern Lighthouse Board how they access the site.
"For the avoidance of doubt, the lighthouse and access pier are excluded from the subjects of sale, however the property does benefit from the right to use the landing jetty to afford access from the sea."

I love Mull - been there a long time ago - but it is a brave man who lives there - especially in winter!
A wind generator might actually be of some use there, coupled with a load of batteries. Not for heavy power but rig the place up with some 12V caravan type light fittings - flourescent strip style.
Presumably landrover accessible? You could move full sized propane bottles yourself and run a proper cooker off those.

A bloke I used to work with many years ago lived and grew up in India.
It seemed to be the case that the rural farmers would load up their produce and then set off at night for the town many miles away. Seemed that the cart was pulled by an Oxen or two and Ox knew its way to market as it had done it so many times before. More often than not the cart driver would nod off and the Oxen would carry on down the one road there being nowhere else for it to go. Anyways it would arrive at the market and the driver would wake up and then that was that..
Except that sometimes the British Hooray henrys would quietly turn the docile Oxen around whilst the driver was asleep so it would head back home and driver would awake to find they hadn't gone that far.
Seems the native Indians didn't care that much for the Brits;!...
£225K. Are they taking the piss? No mains services. No access by road. Hideous weather in the winter. Hideous midges in the autumn. Mull has recorded the highest wind speed ever in the United Kingdom.
OTOH, two weeks out of three there's no policeman on Mull and the Tobermory Hotel has a, shall we say, flexible attitude to opening hours.
My wife's best friend's horse used to walk into town and help himself to the cabbages from the greengrocer then piss on the papers outside the newsagent. But then again he was a teenager.
There's millions of trees here, I'm always chopping them down for the steam tram. Why do trees not grow in Mull? Did someone chop down the last tree, like on Easter Island?
Looking at the agent's particulars only by boat, and of course helicopter. A very high price for what might be idyllic in summer as the pictures show but dire in winter. Only for the seriously hardy who want few of the 21st century's essentials. None of the suggestions I have seen so far make realistic and economic sense.
