This magnificent country estate, dating back to 1880, was originally built as a boarding school for boys and then later purchased by Ada Evans (the first woman to qualify for admission to the Bar in NSW) in 1909. “Kurkulla” has been renovated and extended under the strict guidance of arguably Australia’s leading heritage architect, Howard Tanner, resulting in the creation of a glorious family home.
The house is a complete estate with the main house, including a seperate guest accomodation or self-contained studio, 3 paddocks, an inground pool, and a floodlit tennis court.
