Property details

Listing # 2317277 | Listed on 4 September

Perched above the tranquil Hape Stream and commanding breathtaking views across Thames township and the shimmering Firth of Thames, this is a home unlike any other. Designed in 1971 by renowned architect Franz Iseke this property is something special! This architecturally significant residence stands as a true modernist classic, seamlessly blending design, function, and its spectacular natural setting.

The architecture is immediately distinctive. White-painted concrete block construction, rich timber detailing, dramatic sarked ceilings, and striking black slate floors combine to create a home that feels both timeless and deeply authentic. Every element reflects the principles of mid-century modern design, where clean lines, natural materials, and a strong relationship with the surrounding environment take centre stage.

Accommodation is generous, with four well-proportioned bedrooms supported by two bathrooms, making the home equally suited to family living, guest accommodation, or those seeking space to work from home. At the heart of the home, the open-plan living and dining areas create inviting spaces to gather, entertain, and relax, all while enjoying the remarkable outlook framed by expansive glazing. One of the home's most captivating features is the expansive terrace, seemingly suspended amongst the treetops. With some TLC, this exceptional outdoor space could be transformed into a truly inviting retreat. Whether enjoying a morning coffee, hosting friends for dinner, or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings, the terrace offers a unique experience, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living.

The amazing garden is a well established, lovingly planted by the original owners and well maintained by the current owners. The location adds another layer of appeal, with the main street of Thames just an easy stroll away for cafes, shops and everyday essentials. Thames Hospital is also conveniently close, only a short two-minute drive from home.

Rarely does a property of such architectural significance become available. More than just a home, this is an opportunity to own a piece of Thames history, a landmark residence that showcases exceptional design, enduring craftsmanship, and an irreplaceable setting. For those who appreciate iconic architecture, timeless style, and a home with a story to tell, this remarkable Franz Iseke-designed residence is one not to be missed.
