St. John, Jersey
Freehold
£12,000,000
Situated in the peaceful and highly prized parish of St. John, this beautifully restored 18th-century farmhouse and its outbuildings effortlessly blend historical charm with stylish modern living, all set within 6.13 acres of land.
Electric gates and mature planting ensure ultimate privacy and create an imposing first impression, igniting curiosity about what lies within.
The house reveals secrets at every turn, with exciting surprises contained within an impressive 8,618 sq. ft of accommodation spread over just two floors.
Originally part of a traditional farmstead and divided over time, this fine home boasts a predominant south-facing aspect and exceptional levels of privacy that only enhance the exclusive and idyllic ambience.
Great care has been taken to highlight original features, such as exposed granite walls and an impressive 18th-century fireplace, whilst seamlessly incorporating contemporary elements to bring this architecturally striking property to life.
Internally, a magnificent entrance hall utilises natural materials to great effect, including a granite quoin-laid floor, exposed granite and polished plaster walls, beautiful raw timbers, and glass balustrading. Contemporary 'cloud' lighting pendants draw the eye upwards to the double-height space.
The kitchen/dining/family room is the epitome of understated luxury, featuring a horseshoe-shaped Bulthaup kitchen, formed concrete worktops, and high-end appliances from brands such as Gaggenau. The polished concrete floors sit alongside decorative tiling and link the social spaces that make this room 'the heart of the home'. The sitting area, complete with a ceiling-mounted wood burner, enjoys bi-folding glazing that leads to a private and secluded courtyard with an exterior fireplace, perfect for alfresco living on the coolest of nights.
In addition to informal dining, Le Grand Mourier also caters for those who may prefer to entertain in a more formal setting, featuring richly coloured walls, exposed granite detailing, and an adjacent study or further seating area. A cloakroom, utility room, home office, fifth bedroom, and en-suite complete the northern section of the property, which could also be easily adapted to become a self-contained unit, if desired.
This magical home is never short of surprises, and without wanting to give too much away before you take a tour, expect the unexpected...
How would a private bar measuring 38 ft x 30 ft, which also doubles as a home cinema, sound? A door could perhaps lead to an additional 42 ft subterranean music/games room, hidden from sight, soundproofed, and adorned with music memorabilia, complete with a stage to live out your wildest rockstar dreams.
If only another door opened to your own fantasy room featuring a Crittall-glazed cube where you can sip fine wines while viewing your prized car collection, which could be accessed via an internal lift?
Perhaps you prefer to keep your fitness programme more private and would rather train at home than in public view? This phenomenal home caters to you as well.
If all of the above sounds like a dream, rest assured that at Le Grand Mourier, you can remain very much awake—until, of course, you choose to sleep in one of the five bedrooms in the main house (three of which are en-suite), along with a sixth bedroom (also en-suite) accessed externally above the vast garage—a great spot for independent guests.
Speaking of garaging, Le Grand Mourier offers space for approximately eight vehicles in the main house, along with detached barns that could easily extend this to accommodate an incredible circa 25 cars in total.
Externally, enormous care has been taken to landscape the grounds with year-round interest. The current owners enlisted the talents of Joe Swift, one of the UK’s most well-known and respected garden designers. Joe is also the presenter of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, among many other TV gardening shows. A split-level swimming pool linked by a concrete slide and waterfall adds to the theatricality, while the practicality of a fabulous outdoor kitchen and pizza oven ensures the entertainment never ends.
Meandering paths lead through the grounds, past a range of substantial outbuildings to woodlands and fields beyond, until you reach a hidden oasis at the most westerly point of the land. The natural pool (currently housing a collection of Koi Carp) is an area for relaxation and contemplation from the decked terrace, cantilevered over the water and adjacent to a fabulous timber-built summerhouse with facilities for overnight stays in your very own piece of paradise.
This astonishing property merits internal viewing to appreciate the unique and highly inspirational spaces that make it one of the most magical properties we have ever listed.
