I need to deserialize json for following class.

It doesn't seem like you need to take any extra steps.

Using Json.NET v6.0.8, the following C# program works inside LINQPad:

void Main()
{   
    var o = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject("{\"Property\":\"Instance\"}");

    Debug.Assert(o.Property == "Instance",
        "Property value not set when deserializing.");
}

public class Test
{
    public string Property { get; set; }

    private Test()
    {
    }

    public Test(string propertyValue)
    {
        Property = propertyValue;
    }
}
