Iva Davies Is Selling The House Great Southern Land Was Made In

Iva Davies is selling his Sydney home where he recorded ‘Great Southern Land’, but with a couple of fireplaces this is no Icehouse.

Davies lived in the house at 348 Catherine St in the inner-Sydney suburb of Lilyfield for 32 years and has decided to sell off what is not just a piece of real estate, but also a building of musical historical significance once called a ‘Sacred Rock Site’ by Glenn A. Baker.

348 Catherine St was where Davies created the Primitive Man album featuring ‘Great Southern Land’, the Sidewalk album and the soundtrack to Razorback.

On Facebook Iva posted, “For anyone who is genuinely looking for an inner west home I can recommend this due to its perfect situation, being a walk to the light rail station, a four minute drive to the CBD, cafe and grocery store three doors away, a quiet street (which has become a cul de sac since the days when I lived there), and also a short walk to the local memorial park.”

348 Catherine St, Lilyfield features two bedrooms, a formal lounge and separate dining and living areas. It is expected to sell for around $900,000.
