La Rue De La Mare Des Pres, Saint John

Nestled within the heart of St. John’s beautiful countryside, this substantial period residence occupies an enviable position set within extensive private grounds, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark family home of considerable character and scale.

Approached via a sweeping driveway and surrounded by mature woodland, formal gardens and open lawns, the property enjoys a high degree of privacy and tranquillity. The impressive accommodation is arranged around a central courtyard and swimming pool, creating a unique estate-like atmosphere that is seldom found in today’s market.

Many original features remain, including exposed granite walls, fireplaces, vaulted ceilings and generous reception rooms, all of which offer significant scope for enhancement and restoration.

The extensive accommodation includes multiple reception rooms, a large family kitchen, numerous bedrooms and ancillary buildings, providing flexibility for a variety of family living arrangements. The surrounding grounds are a particular feature, with established gardens, mature specimen trees, ornamental landscaping and expansive areas of lawn creating a picturesque setting throughout the seasons.

The outdoor amenities include a swimming pool, secluded garden areas and extensive parking, while the size and configuration of the estate present exciting opportunities for further enhancement, subject to any necessary permissions.

Enjoying a peaceful rural location in sought-after St. John, yet remaining within easy reach of island amenities, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished home with substantial grounds, immense character and outstanding potential to create one of the parish’s finest private residences.
