SITUATION Jardin du Sud is one of the few properties to become available to purchase that is situated within Little Sark. Forming the southernmost part of the island and linked to ‘Big’ Sark by La Coupee, a natural isthmus, Little Sark has approximately 15 houses, one hotel and a tea garden and an unforgettable air of exclusivity. Beautifully maintained and abundant with wild flowers Little Sark is a truly unique place in which to reside. The hamlet is rural and quaint with the original, pretty granite cottages still thriving and leading on through the ‘farm’ to extensive coastal walks and rambles with scenic views. Boat-owners or friends may be interested to know that the neighbouring bays are prefect for mooring boats and easily accessible.

 Sark is located about nine miles east of Guernsey and twenty three miles north of Jersey with access only permissible by boat with regular ferries to Guernsey and Jersey where there are international airports. Flight time to Gatwick is about thirty minutes by jet.

SARK  Sark is spectacular in both its scenery and its simplicity; its tranquil beauty is unmarred by cars or tarmac roads and yet enhanced by excellent modern facilities for residents and visitors alike. Sark is self-governing through ‘Chief Pleas’ and is presided over by the Seigneur. Transport on Sark is restricted to the horse and carriage, the bicycle and ‘shanks pony’. Tractors are, however, allowed by licence for general farm work, carting of goods from the harbour, and personal transport by arrangement. Everyday shopping facilities are available on Sark together with a selection of excellent hotels, restaurants, and public houses.

TAXATION Sark does not levy any income tax, property gains tax, capital gains tax, inheritance tax or value-added-tax on its residents. Other local taxes are very moderate.
