The award-winning Villa Howden, located on 4.5 acres at 77 Howden Road, Howden, has been listed  for sale through Burgess Rawson’s Zomart He and HTL Property’s Nic Simarro.

The impressive French provincial-inspired estate offers multiple uses, including wedding receptions,  conferences, and luxury accommodation.

The 10-bedroom, 12-bathroom property spans three levels and features a range of premium amenities,  including a helipad, an a-la-carte restaurant with seating for 80 indoors and 30 outdoors, a piano bar,  and a heated indoor swimming pool. Most rooms are complemented by Juliet balconies, enhancing the  property’s charm.

The estate also includes a separate two-story family villa with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, which  currently serves as boutique accommodation for visitors to the North West Bay area, about 20  kilometres south of Hobart.

Mr He said Villa Howden is a truly unique property that combines elegance, versatility, and opportunity. 

“Its stunning location, luxurious amenities, and established reputation make it a highly desirable  investment in Tasmania's premium real estate market." 

Mr Simarro said "Hobart welcomed over 1.9 million overnight guests in 2023; and this number is  forecasted to increase in the short to medium term.

"Due to this, assets with value uplift in the form of additional rooms will be highly desirable to investors  looking for exposure in this market," Mr Simarro finished.

Chinese investor William Wei, owner of the Australian Travel and Culture Group originally purchased Villa Howden in 2017.

His multi-million-dollar expansion plans, approved by the Kingborough Council in February, aim to  extend the building from 10 rooms to 52 and add a new dining area and bar.

Villa Howden offers 10 luxury rooms. The Water View and Villa rooms blend beautifully with the  surrounding natural landscape, while the Tower Room provides a unique retreat with panoramic views  of North West Bay.

The property is being sold via an Expressions of Interest campaign closing October 31 and is expected  to sell in the $5 million to $6 million price range.
