Overview

DESCRIPTION
Black Grace Cowley are delighted to offer this
rare opportunity to purchase one of the Isle of
Man’s most distinctive private houses, the
former home of celebrated writer Sir Hall Caine.
Built in Victorian Gothic style in 1849, Greeba
Castle retains many original features and
provides a unique opportunity to acquire a
gracious home of literary and historical stature.
Set in some seven acres of secluded grounds, the
castellated residence is distinguished by
elegantly proportioned rooms with lofty ceilings.
Complementing the imposing main residence is a
separate guest/staff cottage, a sensitive
contemporary re-imagining of the former stable
block, while deep in the wooded grounds is the
studio, (now derelict), used by Hall Caine for his
writing.
