From light-filled modern residences to restored heritage mansions and character-filled country cottages, here are some of the must-see homes currently on the market in Tasmania.
14 O’Connor Drive, Kingston
It’s a long way from Long Island, but crisp, cool Hamptons style translates well to this peaceful pocket backing on to the crown reserve along Whitewater Creek, just south of Hobart. The new single-level home is picture perfect with sharp white paintwork, plantation shutters and timber floors. The kitchen’s steel-framed bifold windows and the living area’s sliding glass doors open to a covered barbecue terrace.
“It’s gorgeous, modern and relaxed,” the agent, Andrew Henry, says of the property that has been a display home in SJM Development’s Spring Farm sub-division, applauded for adding residential property within commuting distance of Hobart. The agent is looking for the best offer over $845,000.

43 High Street, East Launceston*
History whispers through high-ceilinged corridors, elegant formal rooms, shaded verandahs and sublime botanic gardens with broad views at this landmark property significant for its heritage and architectural values.
The vendors of circa-1830 Hatherley House, architect Jack Birrell and his wife Rebecca, a modern designer, have restored the two-storey Italianate Tuscan mansion and introduced modern amenity in reverting it from a hotel into a generous family home, with office space in a garden studio. Original features include African marble fireplaces, 18th-century gilded mirrors, tessellated floors of mosaic tiles and a mythical griffin guarding the wrought-iron gate.
“Hatherley is an experience in exquisite beauty by design,” Birrell says of the 1927-square-metre property. “It takes you on a journey through time.” .

41-43 Church Street, Stanley
Locals living here, at the foot of the hulking bluff called The Nut, appreciate both their tight-knit coastal community and the tourism drawn to the area’s natural features. The Nut’s hiking trails and chairlift, the safe swimming and wide sands of Godfreys Beach, and the foreshore home of a fairy penguin colony are within sight of this architect-designed, 2016-built home.
The upper level has a cathedral ceiling and light-filled open-plan living zone that opens to a vast wraparound deck, partly covered for almost-all-weather outdoor entertaining. Buyers are invited to make offers in the $900,000 to $950,000 range.

10 Wilmot Street, Hobart
A heritage plaque of honour is pinned to the mustard-colour rendered facade of this quaint circa 1850s house sitting between a front picket fence and a large back garden bordering Battery Point.
The property’s owner for the past 45 years converted two adjoining cottages to form one home, preserving its historic timber floors, exposed brickwork and pressed-metal ceilings. There are multiple living rooms and a main bedroom at ground level and three more bedrooms above, under a pitched roof.
Stroll into the CBD for work or shopping, and to Salamanca for its celebrated market, vibrant performance spaces and the waterfront eateries, bars and galleries in sandstone former warehouses. The vendor’s asking price is $1.025 million.

203-205 Old Bass Highway, Doctors Rocks
On the dramatic north-west coast between Burnie and its airport – a 50-minute trip to the mainland, if you time it right – this family home on a double block comes with loads of country character and accommodation.
Built in 1992 and Georgian-inspired in design, it has bedrooms at ground level (one with a secret cupboard to a cellar) and a living area plus main bedroom above. At the shoreline across the road, you can go swimming, surfing, fishing, boating, rockpool-exploring and sandcastle-building. Failing that, Seabrook Golf Club is a minute’s drive down the road. Offers over $570,000 are invited.
