Architect Kevin Borland’s house for the Rice family is now on the market. It is one of Melbourne’s more interesting experimental houses that was built with a very tight budget in Eltham.

“The Rice House – designed by Kevin Borland, 1951

The Heritage listed Rice House is a rare, one owner-occupier iconic modernist architectural property. It’s idyllic location, sited on the top of the big hill directly above central Eltham enjoys both a convenient yet wonderfully private one acre+ bushland setting, with unsurpassed distant views to the Kinglake ranges and beyond as well as glimpses of the hills to the west/north-west. Deemed a building and property of significance, both ctesiphon-arched structures and all the land was registered as a Heritage Victoria listed property in 2006.”
