Not one, not two, but three Tasmanian properties have landed among the nation’s most popular homes of the past week.
Keen property watchers may be familiar with a couple of them.
At No.3 nationwide, a storybook home in Grove has been a viral sensation over the past few weeks.
It started by topping the Tasmanian chart with 5000 views, then zoomed to the national top spot last week when it hit 16,000.
Now No.134 Crabtree Rd has landed at No.3 in Australia and its views have surpassed 25,000. It is bound to be among the most-viewed Tasmanian properties of the year.
Harrison Agents property representative said it “offers the quintessential Tasmanian lifestyle that so many buyers dream about, particularly those from interstate looking for a peaceful escape and lifestyle change”.

Meanwhile, Australia’s sixth most popular property was No.1018 Kellevie Rd, Kellevie, a property where the pace of everyday life can be escaped amid the tranquillity of this remarkable rural retreat.
It is set across 16ha of picturesque bushland, neighbouring the peacefully winding Carlton River.
Beautifully crafted with rustic charm, the bespoke residence captivates with soaring ceilings, exposed timber beams, live edges, polished timber floors, and a stunning stone fireplace, while the spacious country-style kitchen and open-plan living and dining areas make everyday living and entertaining effortless.

Fenced paddocks, two large dams, a near-new shed with studio and workshop spaces, a private motocross track, and kilometres of walking trails and camp spots through your own bushland create an extraordinary opportunity to embrace authentic country living.
Petrusma Property’s Stuart Benson said inquiries into the property had been strong, with a number of inspections already taking place from buyers “eager to see if the photography lives up to the real thing”.
“The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Many have described the property as their dream family home and the kind of lifestyle they ultimately aspire to,” he said.
Interest in the home has come from Tasmanians, expat Australians living in Europe and the Middle East, and climate refugees from Queensland and the New South Wales north coast, who are hoping to avoid another stifling summer.
“People are drawn to Tasmania’s political stability, relaxed country lifestyle, and the fact that you’re still only a short drive from great coffee, wineries and everyday conveniences,” Mr Benson said.
“The current owners have created tranquil walking trails and riverside camping spots, and for those seeking a little more adventure, there’s even a private motocross track complete with jumps.”

The final Tasmanian home is known as Hallgreen, a gorgeous example of historic New Norfolk architecture.
Its agent, Deb Stephens from EIS Property, has described it as “irreplaceable”.
“Hallgreen is one of Tasmania’s most impressive historic properties,” she said.
“It was originally home to Sir Robert Officer — a surgeon and politician — who was the first medical practitioner in the Derwent Valley.
“When people come to inspect the property, they will discover an amazing sense of seclusion and privacy.
“Despite its stately size — originally built for a family of 13 — people can drive right past and not even know it is there. That’s quite remarkable.”
