The acclaimed New Zealand screenwriter, producer and director Dame Jane Campion is selling her Tamarama apartment.

She bought the 241 sqm investment property for $1.2 million in 2001.  

The listing comes after Campion confirmed she would be co-directing and co-writing a second season of drama series Top of the Lake with the action to be filmed in Sydney and Hong Kong.

Listed by Bethwyn Richards of McGrath for March 19 auction, the property has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and numerous outdoor terraces and deckings.

Jane rose to fame through a series of short films before her feature debut with Sweetie in 1989.

She became the first female to win the Cannes Film Festivals most prestigious prize the Palme d'Or in 1994 for her film 'The Piano' which also secured an Academy Award for best original screen play.

Campion's Castlecrag residence, designed by Alex Popov, was sold in 2008.
