Everglades is a historic garden and house in Leura, designed in the 1930s by Danish-born gardener Paul Sorensen. The property features formal terraced gardens with geometric hedges, perennial borders, and a serene reflection pool, all set against a backdrop of native bushland and sweeping views over the Jamison Valley. Visitors can wander the meticulously maintained grounds, explore the art deco–inspired house, and follow walking trails that connect the cultivated areas to wild eucalypt forest. Its distinctive charm lies in the seamless blend of European garden design with Australian landscape.
