Inside the Tasmanian dream home everybody is talking about right now: ‘It’s simply perfect’

It’s been described as the ‘most enticing property on the market’ – and one look inside this four-bedroom house reveals why.

Located at the top of a hill in one of Launceston’s most exclusive suburbs, Blackstone Heights, 27 Columbus Drive captures the attention of everyone who steps through its doors.

The beautiful hideaway made this month’s national ‘most viewed homes’ list on realestate.com.au thanks to its modern décor, thoughtful design and most importantly, its breathtaking views.

The ‘peaceful retreat’ features four generous bedrooms, two luxurious bathrooms and ten parking spaces, making it ideal for entertaining.

And while it may look relatively unassuming from the front, those who step inside are treated to beautiful finishes and panoramic views over Lake Trevallyn

The house is offered for sale at Bushby Creese and Insitu Property without a list price.

However, it sold for $2.2 million in February 2024, despite four-bedroom, two-bathroom homes in the area typically selling for around $800,000.

Officer George Bushby said he is not at all surprised by the attention the house is receiving.

27 Columbus Drive in Blackstone Heights, Tasmania is currently ranked as one of the most popular homes for sale in Australia

“You can’t replicate the position and views of Lake Trevallyn and the South Esk River, there is simply no other block like it,” he told realestate.com.au.

‘The quality of the construction is impressive and with the amenities it offers, it really feels like your own peaceful retreat.’

The home, built in 2020, is flooded with natural light thanks to the sloping ceilings. This is complemented by the rich, warm tones of the wooden floors.

These tones continue in the kitchen, which is equipped with the same wood as the striking beams on the island bench, along the cabinets and even in the lighting fixtures.

They also end up in the enormous butler’s pantry, where they are used on the counter tops and in the open shelves.

The butler’s pantry keeps the kitchen clutter-free for a sophisticated, minimalist atmosphere.

In the living room, wood tones are again used for the lampshades. The large space also feels cozy with the addition of a comfortable corner next to the television.

The bright, open-plan living areas flow gently through to the outdoor areas with a covered barbecue area and a protected fire pit.
