Launched this week, The Gowing House designed by one of Sydney’s most notable architects Neville Gruzman in 1969 is one of the most unique properties to hit the market this year. An architectural icon celebrated as one of Australia’s most significant examples of Organic Modernism, the sprawling Castlecrag residence is completely secluded on a level 1,541sqm landholding overlooking Sailors Bay with a breathtaking harbour panorama and an incredible sense of peace and privacy. In authentic condition with views that sweep across Middle Harbour to Beauty Point, 8 The Bulwark, Castlecrag is one of the truly singular homes of our Australian Modernist architectural heritage.

Charlie Beaumont says, “The Gowing House is undoubtedly one of Gruzman’s best works and there really is nothing comparable to this mid-century masterpiece. Crafted to blend into the landscape, the design draws inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright achieving a strong sense of harmony with its geometric lines, masterful use of light and sequence of breathtaking vistas that unfold as you move through the home. This is the first time the property has been offered and evokes the sensation of living on an island oasis yet it’s just 15 minutes to the city. It’s a rare opportunity to secure one of Sydney’s design icons with some serious wow factor and a real feel of old Hollywood glamour.”

What makes this property even more enticing is that the adjoining block of land at 8a The Bulwark, Castlecrag is also offered for sale. The 1,366sqm parcel is on a separate title and, if purchased with The Gowing House, would offer over 2,900sqm of level land with potential to create a family compound or to buy both and develop the block of land; the possibilities are endless and the opportunity extraordinary. Inspection at the scheduled open times is by pre-registration only or call Charlie Beaumont on 0422 913 427 for further information.
