ST GEORGE
One of Guernsey’s foremost homes and perhaps the finest country estate in the Channel Islands.
Widely recognised as one of the finest country estates in the Channel Islands, St George is surely unique in terms of its appeal as a beautifully presented home, with ancillary cottages and outbuildings, set in some 35 acres of meticulously maintained grounds, comprising ornamental and parkland gardens, wildflower meadows, a lake, a reflecting pond, woodland, and multiple hospitality and recreational areas. Situated in a rural part of the Castel parish, the property sits on elevated land close to Guernsey’s West coast along with some lovely sea views. A historic island residence, it was for many years the country seat of the Guille family, which could trace their roots back to William the Conqueror and, at one time, it was notably the home of Captain John Guille who went on to be appointed the Bailiff of Royal Court in 1842.
With parts of the property dating as far back as the 16th Century, the main house was substantially rebuilt in the Palladian style as a gentleman’s residence in the 1800s to make it one of the island’s best landed homes. Under the direction of an international group of professionals, a talented team of local craftsmen have created a beautifully restored property that incorporates all the modern infrastructure expected of the 21st Century. The flow of accommodation has been sympathetically and thoughtfully designed, making the house both elegant and practical. A Lift to all floors is one of many innovations along with the finest materials that give a rich and subtle texture to create a home that is both luxurious and comfortable. The St George Estate comprises the main house, three immediate family/staff cottages, two discretely positioned outlying homes, an estate office with meeting rooms, a workshop, garaging, luxury indoor swimming pool, all weather floodlit tennis court, health suite and squash court. Taken overall, the property offers a rare opportunity to a discerning purchaser looking for the very best that the Channel Islands has to offer.
6 substantial bedroom suites within the main house Home gym studio Private cinema Bespoke handmade kitchen equipped with Sub-Zero & Wolf appliances Butler’s kitchen and additional night kitchen Swimming pool complex; steam & shower room Private lake Lakeside pavilion Full size floodlit tennis court State of the art, energy efficient, ‘Air Source’ household heating system Fiber Optic broadband connection available throughout

St George is located in one of the most tax efficient and safe jurisdictions in the world yet is only 25 minutes by air from mainland UK.
The purchase of an Open Market Property is often the route to establishing residency in Guernsey from anywhere in the world. The newly created Entrepreneur Visa and the Investor Visa provide a route to residency for individuals who are currently resident outside of the U.K. common travel area. Once an Open Market address is identified, it is a case of making a straightforward application for an Open Market Resident Certificate that can also accommodate your immediate and extended family. It’s as simple as that; there are no wealth tests, governmental assessments to meet, requirements to 'open books' and no minimum income requirement to reside in Guernsey. There is also the benefit of a tax cap on worldwide income.
The property’s central location provides convenient connectivity to all the island has to offer, with a mere 5 minutes to the West coast beaches and 10 minutes to Guernsey’s airport, suitable for private aircraft.
Guernsey's proximity to both the UK and mainland Europe allows for convenient international travel.
