For Australia’s wealthy, the price tag for a home that meets their needs and tastes now goes all the way to $100 million. 

And if you have the cash to splash, you can fork out on breathtaking views of the Great Barrier Reef, a slice of Tasmania’s own take on Brideshead castle, or an opulent mansion in the heart of a suburb best known for housing our prime ministers.

Here is a look inside the properties asking top dollar in each state and territory.

If a full estate is more your thing, 10 minutes from Launceston’s CBD is this historical homestead, Old Marchington, currently on the market for $2 million.

The story of Old Marchington goes back to 1821 when a parcel of land was granted to free settler John Smith, a man who, according to legend, had royal connections to King George IV.

By 1842 the five-bedroom property was described as one of the best vineyards in the colony, and by 1884 it had become a prominent stud, importing top champions from England.
