The noise, smog and tolls can be a bit tiresome when living in the city. Who doesn't dream of one day just getting away and living on a lonely island?
Perhaps one solution could be the "loneliest" house in the world, a property located on an isolated island where the population is zero.

Located in the south of Iceland, the island of Elliðaey is part of the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago which has a total of 18 islands with a total population of 4414 inhabitants.
In the middle of Elliðaey's is a white house, which is shrouded in mystery and has been abandoned for years.

The house has fueled conspiracy theories such as that it was intended for use during a zombie apocalypse, was used by a faith cult and is owned by Icelandic singer Björk.

But how was the house built and why was it abandoned?
Well it was not built by someone who wanted to live there, but by the Elliðaey Hunting Association.
The house was built in the 1950s for seabird hunters, hunting which is allowed in Iceland and the Faroe Islands.
Inside the house there are large wooden walls and floors and a fireplace. There is no electricity, but the water supply is made through a system that collects rainwater and this also puts the sauna to work.

So far, the house has been visited by 11,264 people since its construction about 70 years ago.

The house can only be visited with the permission of the Elliðaey Hunting Association which still enjoys its ownership today.
