位于黑山的Hat Hill Road尽头的是“St Elmo”,一座被成熟花园环绕的美丽历史性宅邸。
对于那些了解的人来说,Hat Hill的Grose Valley尽头是悉尼富裕家庭建立乡村家园的地方——许多家庭享有Grose Valley的壮丽景色,而像“St Elmo”这样的家园则拥有丰富的黑土带。
这种肥沃的土壤吸引了热心的园艺师,他们种植了在这座花园中格外显眼的壮丽橡树,它们的美丽长枝向外延伸,提供美味的阴凉和无法替代的永久感。
没有人有时间等待这样的树木,它们只能购买!
这座宅邸有着丰富的历史,知名居民包括Parramatta疯狂部门的总监察医生Godson和他的妻子Maud(悉尼伟大维多利亚时代建筑师James Barnet的女儿,他的主要作品包括澳大利亚博物馆、海关大楼和停尸房);Thomas "Roddy" Rodriguez,黑山的族长,旧Ivanhoe酒店的前所有者,精明的商人,于1925年将St Elmo的原始15英亩土地分割;Joseph Carroll(Email家电公司的总经理)和Lionel Hooke(1914年沙克尔顿南极探险队的无线电操作员,AWA有限公司的总经理),他们在1942年购买了该物业,为他们的家人寻求避难所。
事实是,现在是你拥有独一无二的机会——它们不会比这更好,目前的守护者,他们爱每一刻,觉得是时候继续前进了。
现在的这座家园是一座美丽的乡村住宅,有宽阔的阳台,四间卧室,两间浴室,两间生活空间,一间书房,阳光房和早餐室,更不用说两个地下室,最初在二战期间作为防空洞建造。
还有两个户外“厕所”——一个仍然在使用,另一个现在用于储藏,但两个都非常迷人,最初建于1930年代用于开放花园日。
所以,对于那些寻找具有历史证明和只有时间的流逝才能带来的无法替代的感觉的物业的人来说,“St Elmo”可能是他们一直在寻找的那个非常特别的物业。

214-220 Hat Hill Road, Blackheath, NSW 2785 'St Elmo'Set at the far end of Blackheath's Hat Hill Road is 'St Elmo', a lovely stately home surrounded by established mature gardens.
For those in the know, the Grose Valley end of Hat Hill was where wealthy families from Sydney established country homes - many had spectacular views to the Grose Valley and others, like 'St Elmo', were blessed with a magnificent seam of black soil.
This fertile soil attracted keen gardeners who planted the stately oak trees that are a standout in this garden with their beautiful long horizontal limbs stretching out providing delicious shade and an irreplaceable feeling of permanence.
No one has the time to wait for trees this magnificent, they can only be bought!
With a rich history of notable residents including Doctor Godson, Inspector General of the Department of the Insane at Parramatta and his wife Maud (daughter of the great Victorian architect of Sydney James Barnet who's major works include The Australian Museum, Customs House and Mortuary Station) constructed the original house in 1889; Thomas "Roddy" Rodriguez, a patriarch of Blackheath, former proprietor of the 'old" Ivanhoe Hotel, and astute businessman who subdivided the original 15 acres of St Elmo in 1925; to Joseph Carroll (Managing Director of Email whitegoods company) and Lionel Hooke (radio operator on Shackleton's 1914 Antarctic expedition and Managing Director of AWA Ltd) who purchased the property in 1942 seeking refuge for their families from the Japanese.
The fact is, now is your chance to own a one off - they do not get much better than this, and the current custodians, who have loved every moment, feel it is time to move on.
The home as it stands now is a lovely sprawling country residence with wide verandas, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living spaces, a study, conservatory and a breakfast room, not to mention two cellars that were originally constructed as air raid shelters during WW2.
There are also two outdoor 'dunnies' - one still functioning and another now used for storage, but both oh so charming, that were originally built to be used during open garden days in the 1930's.
So for those who are looking for a property with provenance and that irreplaceable feeling that only comes with the passing of time, 'St Elmo' may well be that very special one you have been searching for.
