Symmons Plains Estate is a historic farm and mansion in the locality of the same name, near Perth, Tasmania.
A 856ha property,[1] the estate dates back to 1820s, with the main Georgian house built in 1839.
In 1960, racing driver and family heir John Youl developed neighbouring Symmons Plains Raceway from part of the property.
[2] The house came to worldwide media attention in 2011 when a false story of the home being sold to J.K. Rowling for 10 million AUD was printed by Women's Day.
[7] In reality it was purchased by Clovelly Tasmania, a farming subsidiary of the Ingleby Company.
