Australia’s luxury homes: Inside art dealer’s palatial Harvey House Gallery & Sculpture Park

Just under 30 minutes’ drive from Sydney CBD, an art dealer has built an extravagant estate that hosts glamorous galas and luxury car launches for Australia’s rich and famous.

Trevor Harvey, who is the only licensed dealer of Dr Seuss artwork in the Southern Hemisphere, has lived in the luxurious six-bedroom mansion in the leafy suburb of Terrey Hills for the past 20 years. 

Regarded as one of Sydney’s most opulent estates, no expense has been spared on the lavish interior of Harvey House Gallery & Sculpture Park, where vaulted ceilings tower over six bedrooms and the finest Italian marble is plastered over all three bathrooms – one fitted with double ‘his and hers’ sinks.

The palatial property, which sprawls over 20,000 square metres, has a piano room, horse stables, art gallery inspired decor and a magnesium lagoon pool tiled with glass that wouldn’t look out of place on the grounds of a five-star resort. 

World-class luxury lies around each corner, with a sauna, art studio and multiple open-plan living spaces flooded with natural light spread over the two-storey home.

Windows frame scenic views of the tropical landscaped gardens from almost every room, while the sleek chef’s kitchen backs onto the outdoor lagoon.

Spanish glass tiles that line the bottom of the pool – which is three times the size of the standard Australian lagoon – create the illusion of white sand underfoot.

A waterfall cascades into the pool while a spacious entertainment deck dotted with sun loungers sits on the water’s edge.

Sculptures, fire pits and a 100-year-old self-contained worker’s cottage are spread across the rolling lawns that stretch for five acres around the house, which also has a remote controlled lock-up garage with parking space for three cars.

Mr Harvey’s extravagant estate has hosted elite events including the Australian launch of the new Rolls Royce Ghost, which starts from $545,000.

Sydney Country Living’s Shayne Hutton and Taylor Snell, who are overseeing the sale of the estate via private expressions of interest, expect it to fetch upwards of $8million.

That’s more than $6million above the average $1.7million property price in the Terrey Hills area.

But listing agent Mr Hutton said the house is ‘unlike anything else’ in the northern beaches.

‘It is very unique to what you usually see and it just has a real presence to it,’ he told realestate.com.au.
