luxury houses for sale Santon, Isle of Man

With a south-facing coastal location in the Isle of Man, the UNESCO Biosphere, Arragon Mooar is a unique building combining classic Palladian architecture with elliptical shapes. Spanning an expansive 23,000 sq ft, this property’s distinctive design and impeccable craftsmanship set it apart as one of the British Isle’s finest estates. It was conceived by renowned inventor Dr John C Taylor OBE and crafted to his exacting standards. The property boasts an elliptical central atrium with a galleried first floor connected by a cantilever staircase, glass lift and even a secret staircase. A 360-degree roof terrace, overlooking the parterre garden, orangery, rockery and pond, provides sweeping views of a Neolithic Stone Circle and the Irish Sea to Snowdon in the south. Then, over the ASSI Santon river valley to farmland and heath of the Manx countryside from the Calf Island to hills at North Barrule. The central atrium rises to over 32 feet with a bespoke stone floor that evokes a dahlia flower when viewed from above. Each of the six en-suite bedrooms is uniquely designed, alongside an elliptical drawing room, dining room, library and cosy tv snug. The stylish kitchen/breakfast room is complemented by glass and bottle pantries. The property includes practical features such as an upper-floor laundry room, boot /utility room, cat5 cabling and dedicated cloakrooms for both guests and the owner. Currently laid out as a private suite of three offices, other rooms off the main atrium offer work areas. Arragon Mooar house also has a lower atrium, with a function suite served by a catering kitchen. Plus, secure three-room exhibition space, (which also could be used as a gym suite), and a photographic studio/cinema. Outside, formal gardens feature a classic English parterre, under which an eight-car garage sits discreetly hidden also giving disabled access. A detailed measured survey has been carried out and CGI imagery produced to provide the potential purchaser with guidance on what can be created at the property, subject to necessary permissions.
