Historic Tasmanian estate on SQM's most discounted list
Jessie RichardsonDecember 7, 2020

Clifton, a historic estate in Tasmania's Ranelegh, is on SQM Research's top 10 most discounted properties list, with its asking price halved.

The circa 1850 property, with a main house that dates back to 1865, has been on the market for more than two years. The Huon Valley home remained in the same family until it was first sold in 2000, and has since been used as both a family home and as a bed and breakfast.

The property includes a 25 bedroom house and gardens, which are listed by the National Trust. There are also two separate guest cottages, parklands and paddocks. Clifton was first listed for $2 million 743 days ago, and is now listed with an asking price of $995,000.
