Hottest properties from around the country

ESCAPE to Tasmania for a weekend of luxury whenever you please, with the purchase of a spectacular 1.62ha waterfront property just 20kms south of Hobart.

With a title to high watermark, 322 Tinderbox Rd offers memorable views from Coningham down the channel to Woodbridge, Bruny Island all the way across to the Iron Pot and Cape Raoul.

“It’s on almost four acres with land going to the high water mark, which is quite rare along that strip,” Ray White Hobart principal Ant Manton said.

“The sellers built a fully-approved visitor accommodation on site, as well as the main house, which pulled in about $65,000 in income in the last 12 months.”

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house is wrapped in a full-length deck with multiple living areas and views from almost every room.

The visitor accommodation comes with all current permits and certificates, and is completely separate from the main residence with a private deck, hot tub, sauna and fire pit.

“People like the idea of living in a homestead and generating income from the visitor accommodation,” Mr Manton said.

“The sellers have owned the property since 2009, and have set it up in a way that you wouldn’t want to touch it. We’ve received a lot of enquiry from interstate - Sydney, Melbourne and the Gold Coast.”

Mr Manton has listed the property via an expressions of interest campaign with a price guide of offers over $1.5 million.

First time to market in 20 years, and with a price guide of $5.35 million, is 38a Sherwin St, Henley.

Within 10kms of Sydney’s CBD, this Tuscan-inspired home (above) with beachfront access has been recently renovated.

“The owner is a builder so the home has been kept to a high standard,” Ray White Petersham principal Nicholas Arena said.

“Not many people know this area as it’s quite a small suburb, very family-oriented with access to good schools, close to the city and shops.”

The family home is set over three levels with six bedrooms, four bathrooms, a study and multiple formal and informal living areas.

A rare piece of Blue Mountains history is going under the hammer this Sunday at Blackheath Golf Club.

The Laurels (above), at 123 Govetts Leap Rd, is an iconic 1800s Blue Mountains estate with interiors typical of the late Victorian era.

It was believed to be built by George Evans, surveyor and solicitor, who had extensive land holdings in Blackheath.

“The Laurels is a rare example of a Victorian cottage with Italianate detailing in the Blue Mountains in an established garden setting,” Ray White Blackheath principal Alan Gregory said.

“The Laurels has a long association with Karraweera (now Parklands) and the Pope family, being the residence of its head gardeners for over 60 years from 1888.”

It remained the gardener's residence from 1888 to 1951.

Mr Gregory has listed the property for auction with a price guide of $1.25 million to $1.375 million.

Dating back to the 1930s, and going to auction on Saturday, April 6, is a beautifully renovated Queenslander (above) at 36 Annie St, Paddington.

The four-bedroom home with a water-powered lift is on the market for the first time in almost 25 years.

“There’s something extremely lovable about this home, which I think is not just to do with its location but also its feel,” Ray White Paddington’s Judi O’Dea said.

“It’s changed hands only a few times so there’s something magical here that makes people want to stay.”

Ms O’Dea said character aside, 36 Annie St was a functional family home.

“The floor plan includes four double-size bedrooms, three separate living areas and two lovely verandas,” she said.

“It’s designed to accommodate a variety of people, has a beautiful playable backyard, and has also been freshly painted inside and out.”

Beauties in Perth worthy of this rich list include a Tuscan-inspired home (above) that appears more like a palace which is listed through Ray White Dalkeith | Claremont director Vivien Yap.

The European-style double-storey house at 50 Gallop Rd, Dalkeith has a price guide in the mid to high $4 million bracket and is on the market for the first time since its construction.

There’s a grand entrance, hand-painted ceiling, factory-finished doors, customised built-in cabinetry, games room with bar, alfresco area with built-in barbeque appliances, and a resort-style swimming pool.

Ms Yap has also listed a property with the coolest garage in Perth, scheduled for auction on Wednesday, April 3.

The five-bedroom home at 11 Evelyn Court, Wanneroo comes with a completely tiled garage (above) accommodating six cars, and has an accompanying gym room, built-in cupboards and even a TV unit.

The residence also includes a cabana, fire pit, bar with built-in barbecue, solar-heated swimming pool, and gardens with a fruit orchard area.

Meantime, a contemporary single-level residence (above) in prestigious Peppermint Grove is available to buy through Ray White Cottesloe | Mosman Park director Jody Fewster.

The four-bedroom home at 25R Irvine St has a price guide of low $3 million, with offers closing April 10.

It’s within easy walking distance of the fabulous Napoleon Street cafe strip, Perth's top schools and the Freshwater Bay foreshore.

There’s the four bedrooms, plus two generous sized living spaces, a large internal study, child-friendly established gardens, a home office with separate entry, solar-heated swimming pool and established back garden with a timber cubby house tucked under scented peppermint trees.

Around 35kms southeast of Melbourne’s CBD, in the canal suburb of Patterson Lakes, is this 18-month-old waterfront home (above) for sale with a price guide of $2.2 million to $2.4 million.

Ray White Patterson Lakes director Stephen Hill said the flawless property at 8 Clematis Courtwas in a quiet pocket with a private boat mooring.

“It was designed to be the forever home for the owners but they’ve decided to move interstate,” Mr Hill said.

“It’s just one of those homes you walk into and there’s nothing to do, it’s all been done.”

The same can be said for this converted Adelaide warehouse (above), which was split into two townhouses with one going to auction at a huge auction event this Thursday evening.

One half of a transformed building at 9 Rutland Place will go under the hammer at Ray White Adelaide Group and Ray White Norwood’s combined auction event at Adelaide Oval.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence features a rooftop terrace overlooking Adelaide, as well as Smeg appliances, original jarrah floors, engineered marble benchtops, a high-tech security system, reverse cycle air-conditioning, automatic roller door, veranda, two balconies and a garage with the capacity to install a parking lift.

“We’ve had great interest from buyers,” Ray White Adelaide Group’s Jordan Ekers said.

“Everyone is interested in this property, including people who came here two-and-a-half years ago when I sold it.”

Thursday’s event is in The Premiership Suite at the Adelaide Oval.

There will be a mini property expo on the day, while bidders can register for the event from 5.30pm with the first auction call at 6.30pm.
