Ballaugh — £1.695 million

With seven bedrooms, three bathrooms and five reception rooms, the house is ideal for large families or entertaining and has been recently restored and upgraded, now providing a nice mix of modern comfort in a period setting, but leaving plenty of potential for a new owner to stamp their mark on the property

St Marks — £25 million
'Possibly one of the finest homes in the British Isles' say agents Knight Frank of the truly extraordinary Ballakew, a house on an ancient site that has been rebuilt from scratch, and sits in 154 acres of land.
There are nine bedrooms, a list of leisure facilities which would make a 5-star hotel blush, and separate staff accommodation.
While it's the tennis courts, helipad and grand architecture which will turn heads at first, there's a great deal of attention to detail here which is, if anything, perhaps more impressive.
The indoor pool has a hand-made, fibre-optic chandelier, the intelligent home management system wired throughout, and the inclusion of an amphitheatre — an amphitheatre, for goodness sake! — in the grounds.
For sale with Knight Frank. See more pictures and details about this property.
Douglas — £3.95 million
For those whose blood is infused with a dash of petrol, a private Nature trail at the back of Winterbourne House leads to the famous Nook corner on the Isle of Man’s TT course.
Such a high-octane event stands in stark contrast with the peaceful and green environs of the main house, especially the award-winning courtyard garden, complete with ponds, fountains and waterfall.
Further woodland and lawns surround the 10,000sq ft property, which boasts seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms and four reception areas, a swimming pool, fitness suite and snooker room, all only 1½ miles from Douglas.
For sale with Savills. See more pictures and details about this property.
Ballaugh — £7 million
A run-down 1950s, four-bedroom house for sale at £7 million? Well, yes, but this farm is all about the potential of the 97 acres of land around it — which is huge.
71 acres of the land is in one coastal block of spectacular beauty, overlooking the beach and the sea, and full of potential — subject to the right permissions — for the existing house and farm buildings to be replaced by some sort of new house. This is a millionaire's playground waiting to happen.
For sale with Chrystals. See more pictures and details about this property.
