No. 1 Ram Island, Little Swanport was the most popular Tas property on realestate.com.au
High-profile former Mornington Peninsula builder Ralph Mansfield and wife Caralyn have shaved $1m+ off the asking price of their Tasmanian private island.
Between 1986-2018, Mr Mansfield ran a design and construction company, working for the likes of ex-Lord Mayor of Melbourne Ron Walker and his family; another former Melbourne Lord Mayor, architect Richard Meldrum; and clothing labels Billabong, Quiksilver and Surf Dive ‘n’ Ski.

More than two decades ago, the Mansfields purchased the 26.7ha Ram Island and built a three-bedroom house there.
Last year, they put the island on the market with a $7m price tag which has now been reduced to $5m-$6m.
Peterswald for property’s Nick Morgan has the listing in conjunction with RT Edgar director James Hatzolos, who is handling inquiries from Victorian buyers.
