Leura, Heritage-listed residence in Bellevue Hill, Australia.

The eight-bedroom mansion features a ballroom, tennis court, swimming pool, and established gardens across 4,260 square meters of land with harbor views.

Built in 1891 by architects Walter Liberty Vernon and Howard Joseland, the house underwent major renovations after a fire in 1909 replaced wooden shingles with terracotta.

The property includes a natural spring and marks the location of a former Aboriginal camp, connecting present-day residents to the ancient history of the area.

The residence includes eight bathrooms, an underground garage with caretaker apartment, and maintains privacy through its position at the end of a circular driveway.

From 1956 to recent years, the mansion served as Street House for Cranbrook School boarders before returning to private ownership with a record sale price.
