Kurkulla, Heritage-listed homestead in Bowral, Australia
The single-story brick residence features polished timber floors, pressed-metal ceilings, and a distinct gable with a segmented circle bay window facing Evans Lane.
The property was constructed in the early 1880s for Lucy Berthon, who intended to establish a girls' school before selling it to operate as a boys' boarding school.
Ada Evans, the first female law graduate from the University of Sydney in 1902, transformed Kurkulla into a self-supporting farm while advancing women's legal rights.
The three-hectare estate includes a heated swimming pool, tennis court, guest studio, informal woodland gardens, and dual entrances with maintained shrubbery.
Olympic swimmer Cecil Healy studied at Kurkulla when it functioned as a boys' boarding school under scholar J. Lee Pulling between 1891 and 1897.
