Some homes in Jersey are very evidently at the top end of the property market purely due to their size, and their location on a charming island with a low tax regime. Others, though, are clearly a cut above for one reason or another; and it’s one of these — Anne Port Farm, a £16 million joy on the island’s north-east side — which we look at today.
This granite-built home was erected in the 1970s in 16 acres of breathtakingly beautiful grounds which stretch across the entire expanse of Anne Port Bay. By Jersey standards, this is a big swathe of land, and the sale represents a rare opportunity to purchase a significant coastal estate on Jersey.

Eagle-eyed readers might recognise the house and interiors: this was the home of the late George Farrow, a property developer and investor who rose from humble beginnings to become one of Britain's biggest landlords.Rosebery's auctioned off his exquisite collection a few weeks ago; and his home itself is now for sale for the first time in half a century.
Accommodation includes a dining room and a drawing room, as well as a library and large kitchen, plus a 30ft extension.
An impressive marble staircase leads up to the principal bedroom suite and two guest suites. The entire second floor comprises one vast room, ideal for housing a collection.
Outside, the summer house sits adjacent to the terrace and there is a three-bedroom cottage.
As impressive as the buildings are, the setting is just as much of a draw. Mature gardens include woodland leading to a beach with a slipway from which, on clear days, the coastline of France can be seen.
For sale via Hunt Estates at £16 million — see more pictures and details.
