Fairwater, Double Bay, Heritage mansion in Double Bay, Australia
Fairwater is a heritage mansion in Double Bay, a harbor suburb of Sydney in New South Wales. The waterfront residence shows high ceilings, wide verandas and ornamental gardens running across the grounds.
The residence was built during the early decades of the 20th century when wealthy families set up estates along the harbor foreshore. The building later gained state protection because of its significance for Sydney's architectural heritage.
For over a century the estate has served as an example of residential habits among wealthy Sydney families who favored generous grounds by the water. The name Fairwater points to the valued position right on the harbor basin.
Access to the grounds is allowed only with permission since the property remains privately held and protected by heritage rules. Visitors should check in advance whether special occasions permit viewing.
The size of the grounds ranks among the largest private estates still located within the inner harbor zone of Sydney. Only a few other residences from that era retain similarly expansive gardens by the water today.
