Carteret House, St Martin

Carteret House is an exquisite and incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a contemporary residence of exacting standards, positioned in a privileged cliff-top location within the Crown Dependency of Jersey, Channel Islands.

Named after the French port of Carteret, which the property overlooks, the views also extend to Les Écréhous — a group of islands and rocks situated six miles (9.7 km) north-east of Jersey and eight miles (13 km) from France. These form part of the Bailiwick of Jersey and are administratively within the Parish of St. Martin, which Carteret House calls home.

Extensively curated by the current owner over the past three and a half years, enormous care has been invested in preparing Carteret House for its next chapter following a comprehensive programme of renovation and modernisation. Bespoke finishes and joinery are complemented by an overarching sense of quality, with the property functioning effortlessly for the international purchaser — offering automated features that can be controlled from anywhere in the world.

Bespoke, electric Corten steel gates open to a paved parking area, leading naturally towards the main entrance and adjacent terracing. These terraces wrap around the property, creating seamless connectivity between internal and external spaces.

Elevated above a private cove — accessible only via the property or by sea — a winding pathway meanders through protected native woodland to the shoreline, offering the chance to experience one of the many unique features that make Carteret House so very special.

This is an unrivalled opportunity in a location that epitomises the very best of Jersey, with a rare and ever-changing relationship to the surrounding waters that create a different canvas every day.
