Bolivia Mount is one of the most distinctive and handsome properties to come on the market in the Isle of Man for some years. Designed as a four square white stucco house, the property was built in 1820 for William Moore and purchased by Philip Teare in 1851 for £1,205. The house was so named as Teare had mining interests in the South American country of Bolivia. Over time various alterations have been made to the Georgian structure and the house now boasts a magnificent entrance hall and staircase with ornate and detailed cornicing throughout. Bolivia Mount has a drawing room and dining room of some grandeur.
There are further reception room areas; a luxurious kitchen, pantry and utility areas, six bedrooms and three new bathrooms. A particular feature of the house is the crenellated tower which sits aloft in the main roof, affording far reaching views across the estate and majestic southerly aspects to the hills. In addition to the principal residence is a recently extended three bedroom detached cottage and fully converted coach house and offices. In all the estate comprises approximately 42.3 acres offering: Fields, paddocks and numerous pathways winding through extensive woodland. The estate has hundreds of mature trees and more than 3,000 trees have been planted during the last 20 years.
The beautifully landscaped formal gardens and large boating lake, ponds, tennis court and private paths extending over the entire curtilage.
The isle of man
The Isle of Man lies in the Irish Sea between England and Ireland in the heart of the British Isles and has a thriving population of around 86,000. Unlike many islands, the Isle of Man is large enough (30 miles by 12 miles) to offer its wealthy residents a degree of privacy and anonymity seldom found in other low tax jurisdictions. It is also reputedly the 4th safest place in the world to live with only Qatar, Taiwan and uae considered safer. The UK is ranked 73rd and the Republic of Ireland 70th.
It is remarkable for its variety of landscape – a beautiful coastline, unspoilt glens and mountains rising to over 2,000 ft. There are over 100 miles of coastline, covering an area of 227 square miles, with water warmed by the Gulf Stream. As a result, the Island enjoys equable climate with mild winters. Palm trees are common throughout the Island and wild fuchsias abound.
The Isle of Man is the only country recognised by the un as a Biosphere with zero noise, light or air pollution. The Isle of Man hosts some of the most visible marine life with giant basking sharks, dolphins and minke whales. Often seals can be spotted sunbathing on the beaches, as well as a mix of rare coastal birds such as puffins and shearwaters. Birds of prey include: Falcons; buzzards; goshawks; hen harriers; sparrow hawks; kestrels and owl. No foxes, snakes or deer are found on Isle of Man. Wallabys roam freely in the north of the Isle.
The climate is not dissimilar to Cornwall with mild winters and delightful summers. The quality of fresh organic produce from the Manx farmer is abundant and the fish, lobster, scallops, and Dublin Bay prawns straight out of the Irish Sea is bountiful.
The Island has never been part of the UK and is a self-governing state outside of the European community. Particularly famous for its thriving financial services sector, the Isle of Man's national taxation strategy has seen the introduction of very favourable tax treatment as follows:
• Zero Corporation Tax (excluding banks and a few other exceptions).
• Zero Capital Gains Tax.
• Zero Inheritance Tax.
• Zero Stamp Duty; Land registry fees approx 2% (lower than UK Stamp Duty).
• Income tax is set at the lower of 20% or £200,000 pa Tax Cap.
• Zero Charge for Street Parking and no ulez/Congestion Charges.
Transportation links
Communications to the United Kingdom, Europe and Ireland are excellent, with up to 20 flights daily to 14 airports including Gatwick, Heathrow and London City in 60- 70 minutes, and Birmingham, Manchester and Dublin in 30-40 minutes. The time saving connections through Dublin to America, with immigration speedily cleared in Dublin airport in advance of boarding, are a well-kept secret.
There is a modern Private Jet Centre offering business travellers and wealthy residents the opportunity to save time and travel anywhere with a fleet of jets flying in and out across the world.
The Island has recently taken delivery of the greenest, most up to date and luxurious ferry ship operating from any port anywhere in the UK. Services run from Heysham and Liverpool and expanded routes during the summer to Belfast and Dublin.
