这个就是传说中Castle Cove的castle 吧？

果然如此。Wikipedia上有这个介绍。最早整个半岛卖给一个叫Andrew Armstrong的人，后来又转卖给Henry Hastings Willis。
Willis家族在1903年修建了这个城堡似的house，取名Innisfallen Castle
1985年，Willis家族的后人想分地建townhouse，把这个castle也改成商业婚礼场地，结果council不批。所以只好4百万拍卖卖掉。
如果1985年这个castle卖4百万，可以猜一下现在的price guide是多少
不知道能不能趁inspection免费参观

是的。nsw heritage网站上有关于这个房子和第一任主人Henry Willis的详细介绍
In 1903, Willis decided to build a permanent residence on the site whereupon the original weekend cottage became the gardener's cottage. The foundation stone was laid in 1904, a year before the family moved in. An architect named Hill from Parramatta, was commissioned to design a building in late Gothic, perpendicular style, which was constructed of local sandstone, quarried on-site and dressed by local masons. During construction, the 30-40 or so men working on the building lived on-site in tents, many with their families. A stone wharf, stables, reservoirs, a tennis court and formal gardens were part of the original estate. 'Innisfallen' was named after a ruined Abbey at Killarney in South-west Ireland and means 'Isle of the Field.'
Willis was quoted at the time: 'I think Middle Harbour is Australia's Killarney and, in some resepects, the castle resembles the old Irish abbey'
