The part of the St Patrick\u2019s Estate now known as Spring Cove Estate was once terraced with orchards, vegetable gardens and flower beds.\u00a0 Bounded by Sydney Harbour National Park, Spring Cove is a buffer zone between developed and undeveloped land. \u00a0It calls for special consideration of the sensitive ecosystem and interaction between wildlife and residents.<\/p>\n
An interdisciplinary project team has taken a “minimum intervention” approach ensuring Spring Cove integrates within the ecosystem without upsetting its balance.\u00a0 In particular, natural foraging corridors and habitats are being regenerated and expanded to protect populations of endangered long-nosed bandicoots known to forage and shelter here and little penguins that feed on Spring Cove’s sea grasses and breed on the shore.<\/p>\n
Now set across more than seven acres of rare and pristine Sydney harbour front land, Spring Cove Estate is a place of true natural splendor. \u00a0Its rich landscape of architecturally-designed eco-sensitive homes is setting new benchmarks in sustainable coastal design.<\/p>\n
A boutique collection of 17 houses, 16 apartments and five townhomes are discreetly located across a tiered coastal backdrop. \u00a0Each spectacular home is designed to capture wonderful harbour and bush land views while seamlessly integrating with the natural environment.<\/p>\n
Once part of the historic Archbishop’s Residence garden estate, magnificent trees, now over a hundred years old, are still standing. Below is a small chain of secret beaches, secluded hideaways on the harbour. \u00a0All around the homes, native trees blur the lines between the Estate’s grounds and the National Park that hugs its eastern border.<\/p>\n
