Inside Tassie’s top homes of 2025: what $3m+ buys
Date Published
It took a sale of more than $3m to have a chance at cracking Tasmania’s top 10 sales of 2025.
Figures from realestate.com.au show 16 homes sold for more than $3m. These were single dwellings up to 10ha, not farms.
About half are located in Hobart.
While Tasmania’s median prices are highest in Battery Point and Sandy Bay, the top three sales were in other areas.
The most expensive property was a coastal home in Cooper St, Seymour.
It was sold by Jo Oliver from Harrison Agents Launceston who said the price remains undisclosed.
Ms Oliver said the four-bedroom home, known as First Light, had been purchased by someone who grew up in Tasmania.
“They loved the sitting of the home on the spectacular coast and the way in which the architecture integrates into the landscape and the privacy,” she said.
The 2.15ha waterfront property was listed for sale in the $4.5m-$5m bracket, per realestate.com.au.
The property features rammed-earth and timber construction, breathtaking views, a wood heater, window seat, numerous decks, a timber boardwalk, a separate guesthouse, high-end bathrooms, watercraft storage facilities and a station for cooking crayfish.
Ms Oliver noted that local, interstate and international buyers showed an enormous amount of interest in the property.
“The sale price was in line with price expectations,” she said.
The next largest sale was a waterfront property at Woodbridge that fetched $4.25m.
The Channel Hwy home, known as Peppermint Cove, has been described by Harcourts Huon Valley director Nick Bond as “special”.
“It’s very unique to have this many acres on the water’s edge,” he said.
Tasmania’s third most expensive sale of the year was back up north in Launceston hotspot Relbia, where No.310 Glenwood Rd achieved a $4.05m sale.
Insitu Property director Kristi Seymour described it as “timeless, luxurious, sophisticated property”.
It was also purchased by Tasmanians.
She said that the 4.19ha estate is highlighted by an Ozone pool nestled among mature landscaping. The property also has a full-size tennis court, fitness room, substantial garage space, and automated irrigation.
“With parklike grounds established over decades, the property has an unmatched sense of calm; it is a sanctuary,” Miss Seymour said.
Rounding out the Top 5 is a record-breaking sale in King St Bellerive that set a new high for the suburb, and historic 1940s home Winston on Sandy Bay Rd.
