The Rich List region that’s become Sydney’s Hamptons
The Southern Highlands has become to Sydney what the Hamptons is to New York, or the Cotswolds to London, attracting some of the biggest names to its secluded estates.
King Charles’ charity has taken over the leasehold of the heritage-listed Hillview Estate.
During King Charles′ recent trip Down Under, he bought – via his charity The King’s Foundation Australia – the long-term leasehold for a grand old estate in the NSW Southern Highlands, further swelling the ranks of notable landholders in the region, a 90-minute drive from Sydney.
The Sutton Forest property slated for a royal restoration project is 61-hectare, State Heritage-listed Hillview Estate, which served as the vice-regal summer retreat for NSW governors in the late 1800s.
