French-style home in Tasmania set to achieve a fresh price benchmark

A French-style property with many places to lay your head is poised to transform the local market with $1.7 million-plus price hopes.

The sum – for a stylish pile, named Riviera Retreat, that would be right at home in Provence – is nudging the suburb price record of $1,805,000, and proves the depth of Tassie prestige property.

At 364 Motor Road, Deviot, agents Wayne Riethoff and Bec Gardner of The Agency are seeking offers of more than $1.7 million. The estate comes with a provincial Gallic and Hamptons-influenced house, plus separate cabin, a converted bus and a couple of caravans – a multi-accommodation proposition, right on the river.

Tasmania’s property market has some steam behind it. The price recovery in the state’s capital gathered momentum over the September quarter, Domain’s latest House Price Report found. House prices rose three times faster in the three months to September than the previous quarter.

The growth has been moderate compared to quarters past, but generated an almost 2 per cent spike in the median.

The Deviot beauty has deep outdoor decks to revel in views of the Tamar River, but the interior is also configured to enjoy the natural wonders.

“Every room within this residence offers a breathtaking view of the Tamar River, creating a connection with nature that is both inspiring and tranquil,” the listing explains.

“Adding to the allure of this property is a fully self-contained cabin, complete with a private deck and water views. An outdoor bathtub further enhances the unique experience this property offers, allowing residents to indulge in the natural surroundings.”

The listing shows the charmingly-decked out bus and vans, which could be rented out for a chilled holiday in a stunning part of the world.

The main house has high, cathedral ceilings, an ambient wood-burning fire, olive-green accented contemporary kitchen and gossamer-fine curtains that sweep back to welcome in the water view.

Deviot is in the western Tamar Valley region, about 35km north west of Launceston.
