The historic Killara estate Wharncliffe, where late mining magnate Lang Hancock momentously married his former maid, Rose Lacson, is on offer with a $20 million guide.
The Georgian revival residence on 7500 square metres with a swimming pool and tennis court is one of the most significant estates on Sydney’s upper north shore. That goes some way to explain its record price aspirations far and above the region’s $15 million record – set last year by the Bremon estate in Warrawee – and the $16.3 million exchange on a Killara residence that is expected to settle in the new year.
