Eco-friendly Oasis in the Isle of Man

Just fifteen minutes from the Isle of Man’s capital of Douglas, the eco-friendly Rheast, Santon, offers a unique contemporary 7000 square foot oasis with beautiful sea views and three acres of land.

As the only entire Island nation with UNESCO biosphere status, the Isle of Man is a truly unique place to live. We boast outstanding landscapes, incredible biodiversity, and a robust economy. With a strong and varied culture and outstanding sense of community, the UNESCO biosphere status encourages inhabitants to learn about and cherish what we have on the Isle of Man and safeguard it for the future by making good decisions as individuals, as organisations, and as an Island.

We have 10 marine nature reserves, the highest concentration of dark sky sites for stargazing in the British Isles, and an official bird sanctuary on the Calf of Man, which is one of only twenty recognised British Bird Observatories.

On top of this you’ll find examples of environmental action and initiatives all over the Island, from over 100 free water refill locations to plenty of electric vehicle charging points. More than a fifth of the population volunteer with beach-cleaning charity Beach Buddies, and the Government’s People’s Wood project began its promise to plant a tree for every resident earlier this year. We’re of course committed to transitioning to net zero emissions of all greenhouse gases by 2050 too.

The Rheast is testament to this eco-friendly way of living on the Island, and the accommodation comprises: a lounge with 20' high vaulted ceiling, bespoke Tom Howley luxury dining kitchen, pantry/wine room, three further receptions, wet room, utility room and integral access to triple garage. The first floor provides a Master bedroom, fitted dressing room and ensuite bathroom with steam room, guest bedroom suite, second ensuite bedroom and 2 further bedrooms with shared Jack and Jill bathroom. This property has a highly efficient heat recovery ventilation system, with solar hot water and underfloor heating throughout.

Just minutes from the UK, and with borders re-opening this summer, residents of the Isle of Man enjoy the peace of mind that the Island is one of the safest places to live in Europe with very low crime rates, and that children will receive high standard of education in one of the top-quality public or private schools such as the brilliant Laxey School located just a stone’s throw away from this idyllic property. At 33 miles long and 13 miles wide, the Isle of Man is a secluded treasure in the heart of the Irish Sea, and Rheast Road is the perfect reflection of this remote way of living next door to city life.
