Forget the Amazon. This cliff-hugging home in the south-west of England is surrounded by a temperate rainforest overlooking the sea. One of the most impressive listings currently on the market in Devon is a coastal compound that goes by the name Rockton.
Asking £2.5 million (or about $3.2 million), the former coach house includes an adjoining, self-contained residence right next door that’s dubbed Rockton Mews.
The stately spread was originally built in the 1870s, and in the centuries since, it has been extensively renovated by its current owner, Russell Jarvis. “Nestled in a truly enchanting location atop cliffs that overlook a rugged coastline and are surrounded by temperate rainforest, Rockton provides unmatched sea views combined with privacy, elegance, and comfort,” Seb Hipwood, co-founder of Blue Book Agency, said in a press statement. “Its secluded position ensures an exceptionally peaceful and private atmosphere, complemented by stunning coastal views from expansive windows, gardens, and terraces, with the gentle sound of the sea in the background.
The entire property is only visible from the air and the sea, offering a unique level of privacy for a coastal home.” RELATED: This Epic Oceanfront Manse on Big Sur’s Dramatic Cliffs Could Be Yours for $22 Million Perched above Exmoor’s wild coast , Jarvis bought the digs back in 2020 while living in Singapore. He then put the place through a massive remodel with the help of local craftsmen and builders.
