Featured on Grand Designs New Zealand. A residence defined by its form, where elevated living meets the rhythm of light, space, and coastal horizon. Conceived from a vision inspired by Mediterranean travel, the residence was originally commissioned by a Christchurch builder with a passion for enduring materials and architectural form. Designed by architect Philip Kennedy, the home was meticulously brought to life in concrete, its distinctive towers and spiral staircase emerging gradually from the surrounding landscape over many years. A scale model of the original design, still held at the property, reflects the ambition and intent behind the project. Following a period of pause, the residence was later completed and refined, realising its full potential as a home of both substance and character. Its journey has since been captured through its feature on Grand Designs New Zealand, further highlighting its architectural significance. Positioned within a rural setting near Sefton, 30 McLeods Road is an architect-designed residence shaped by Mediterranean influence, where scale, elevation, and ocean views combine to create a home of rare presence. Comprising three interconnected towers arranged across five levels, the architecture draws on classic villa principles, with vertical form and layered spaces designed for both privacy and gathering. A central spiral staircase introduces a sculptural element, while a lift provides ease of movement throughout the home. At its heart, a substantial courtyard reflects traditional Mediterranean planning, creating a sheltered outdoor space that anchors the home and invites relaxed living and entertaining. Elevated to capture sweeping coastal and rural vistas, the property embraces its position, with balconies and upper levels engaging directly with the outlook and changing light. Despite its sense of seclusion, it remains within approximately 30 minutes of both Christchurch International Airport and Christchurch city. Accommodation is extensive, with seven bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, several opening to private balconies. Multiple living areas provide flexibility for both everyday living and larger scale hosting. A separate two bedroom apartment, complete with kitchen, living, and bathroom facilities, offers independence for guests or extended family. Additional features include four internal access garage spaces, generous off street parking, a dedicated wine cellar, and a series of unique character spaces, including a dungeon. With its expansive accommodation, Mediterranean inspired design, and striking setting, the property also presents intriguing potential for retreat style living, boutique hosting, or future event based use, subject to any required consents and approvals. In a market where homes of this scale and architectural identity are seldom offered, 30 McLeods Road stands apart. A home of presence, perspective, and enduring individuality designed not simply to be lived in, but to be experienced. Disclaimer: This property may be marketed as suitable for overseas purchasers.
