Taking its cues from the great manor houses of Europe, Invergowrie stands among the most renowned estates of the Southern Highlands. The residence was commissioned in 1936 by prominent Australian industrialist Sir Cecil Harold Hoskins, later knighted for his pivotal role in establishing Australia's iron and steel industry.
The estate and its manicured gardens were conceived by celebrated landscape architect Paul Sorensen, whose legacy encompasses many of the region's most iconic early-20th-century botanical landscapes, still flourishing today.
Dramatic and opulent, the Tudor Revival residence has been meticulously reborn, now revealed through layers of exquisite fixtures and finishes curated to exacting standards by the award-winning Greg Natale Designs.
Defined by superb craftsmanship, striking attention to detail and an enduring vision of quality, the grand two-storey layout unfolds across two lavish master retreats, six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and two powder rooms, complemented by a remarkable indoor swimming pool, trophy room, gymnasium, games room, substantial wine cellar, bar and library.
Set across approximately 9.3 hectares, Invergowrie also encompasses a c.1800s Lakehouse with sweeping water vistas, a caretaker's cottage, guest house, workshop and machinery shed, tennis court, wrought-iron arbour, aviary and bocce court - all embraced by renowned heritage gardens beneath ancient oaks, groves of cedar and stately silver elms.
