One of Hobart's most impressive trophy homes, Stokes House, recently hit the market. 

The home at Stokes Point in New Town, just north of Hobart, is one of the largest and finest mansions in Tasmania, according to EIS Property Hobart agents Deb Stephens and David Gunning.

Stephens and Gunning are asking for offers over $4 million.

Stokes House has been hidden from the public eye for well over a century by the extensive verdant gardens on its 4,410 square metre parcel.

It is a Gothic Revival mansion with ballroom that dates back to the late 1880s when it was built by then Lieutenant Governor of Tasmania Sir John Dodd, with a no expense spared construction and sourcing of the materials. 

The surrounding suburbs of Hobart are attracting the most attention.
