SOME things are not debatable.
Usain Bolt is the world’s fastest runner; Dubai’s Burj Khalifa is the tallest tower; Pepper X is the hottest chilli pepper — and Bellevue House is Richmond’s finest home that you can purchase today.
Listed for sale in the “Early $2m” price bracket, Harcourts Hobart property consultant Colin Miller said a range of potential custodians have inquired about the property.
“Buyers who are drawn to heritage homes like Bellevue are often those who appreciate history, charm, and the uniqueness of a property that tells a story,” he said.

“While we do see interest from individuals who have previously owned heritage homes, many buyers are first-timers in this space, attracted by the character and timeless beauty that modern homes just can’t replicate.
“Investors in the short-term accommodation space are attracted to homes that are well-located, and Richmond is the second most-visited attraction in Tasmania behind Port Arthur. For these buyers, it’s a bonus if the property has historic charm and a prime location.”

Mr Miller said some buyers have a deep understanding of heritage properties and are familiar with their unique qualities.
“Others, however, are simply captivated by the aesthetic and lifestyle offered by a historic home, and are excited to take on something different,” he said.
