Set peacefully within the ever-popular rural parish of St Martin, Les Chasses Farm enjoys a stunning position with sea views and a wonderful sense of seclusion. Dating back to the 17th century, this traditional family home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a character filled property, set within approximately 24 vergees (circa 10.6 acres) of its own land, including 5 vergees designated for permanent equestrian use.<br/><br/>Ideal for those seeking privacy, rural charm, and a nature lover's paradise, the extensive grounds are particularly well suited for equestrian use. <br/><br/>The beautifully manicured south facing gardens, extensive pasture, and mature trees provide a haven for wildlife and peaceful countryside living.<br/><br/>Built in 1623, the farmhouse is approached via its own private driveway from a quiet country lane, surrounded by picturesque countryside. Despite its tranquil setting, the property is exceptionally well located, offering convenient access to many of the island's leading schools, as well as the scenic coves and beaches of the East Coast.<br/><br/>Now on the market for the first time in 65 years, the home has been thoughtfully modernised over time, while still offering significant potential for further enhancement, subject to the usual planning permissions.<br/><br/>The main residence features four bedrooms and showcases a harmonious blend of traditional architecture and modern living. In addition, the property benefits from a generously sized, self-contained two bedroomed flat, with its own separate entrance, dedicated driveway access, and pleasant views across the surrounding fields making it an ideal space for second generation accommodation or potential rental income.<br/><br/>To the rear of the main house lies a substantial 4,600 sq ft double storey outbuilding, currently used for storage. It benefits from domestic curtilage, a large yard, and a separate access route, providing an exciting opportunity for redevelopment, subject to planning consent. The sheds on the property have recently been re roofed, and a new 24 foot greenhouse has been installed, further enhancing the estate's practicality for keen gardeners or small holders.<br/><br/>Importantly, main drains and water connections can be installed through the property's own land, offering additional convenience for any future works or upgrades.<br/><br/>The northern section of the land is accessed via a neighbouring avenue (La Chenaie des Bois), which offers the option to keep the secondary avenue exclusively for private use by Les Chasses Farm. This thoughtful layout enhances the estate's privacy and potential.<br/><br/>Altogether, Les Chasses Farm represents a fine and very practical small country estate, combining historic charm, extensive amenities, development potential, and a serene, rural location in one of Jersey's most desirable parishes.<br/><br/><b>Services</b><br/>Mains electricity (3 phase).
