9. Award-winning luxury living at Pranier Bay
The ‘Nautilus’ in Sydney’s Sutherlandshire is a sight worth seeing. The property has seven bedrooms, 19 bathrooms (yes, you read that right) and space for 20 vehicles.

7. Zoe and Hamish’s Big Design in Richmond
The Richmond Hill home, which Neil Architecture created in collaboration with Simone Haag, has been the home of Zoë Fozter-Blake and Hamish Blake for five years.

Features include a pool area, home theater, gym, temperature-controlled wine cellar (1,500 bottles) with adjoining bar room, peach-pink Zo en-suite and master Terrazzo en-suite. But the pièce de résistance is perhaps Richmond’s best rooftop, with 360-degree views of the city skyline, Yarra River, and botanical gardens.
6. French-inspired mansion in the Dandenong mountain range
You don’t see many French-inspired mansions for sale in the Dandenong mountain range. This truly unique property is located within a landscaped garden reserve of 2,400 sq. There’s also a gold-grade theater room for eight and a Roberto Cavalli-inspired cigar room with industrial suction unit.
The property has a lot of distinctive characteristics.

4. Hampton’s Heritage Charm
Another block listing by Mitch and Mark, 4 Bronte Court is a four-bed, three-bathroom family home that embraces modern living and natural light. The charming heritage facade gives way to soaring cathedral ceilings and other features such as a resort-style backyard retreat with plunge pool.

Perched at the head of the Bronte Court cul-de-sac and north-oriented, the contemporary Josh and Luke urban house features 6.5m high vaulted ceilings, asymmetrical windows, a wraparound backyard with outdoor dining area and pool, and a home cinema and games area.
1. Sophisticated modern Mediterranean inspired by Hampton life
The most searched-for homes in Australia for 2021 are none other than Blockheads Ronnie and the stunningly executed Georgia home at 2 Bronte Court. The couple made the controversial decision to go first in the auction, which many have speculated would lose hundreds of thousands of profits to them despite being the most awarded house in this year’s series (and obviously a popular choice with viewers).
Combining sophisticated interior style, quality craftsmanship and functional design, the property offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms, garden service in the sumptuous kitchen, a high-tech basement cinema with star-studded ceiling and a Tuscan-style wine room framed by a curved architectural staircase. Of course, there is an outdoor entertaining area with a pool as well.
