Drawing inspiration from Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s iconic Barcelona Pavilion, this residence celebrates the essence of modernist architecture - open space, purity of form, and an enduring dialogue between structure and landscape. A creation by David Ponting and Matthew Fitzgerald, the home is a triumph of precision and material mastery, its refinement placing it in a league of its own. The use of Himalayan schist is both deliberate and poetic, its texture and tone uniting the architecture from the gateway through to the heart of the home. A glass-walled gallery encases a striking central pool, framed by schist walls that anchor the residence to its natural setting, while overhead, a floating sail roof amplifies its sculptural elegance. A palette of Brazilian stone, wood-grained concrete, and American white ash, evokes understated luxury, illuminated by shifting light from broad glazing and skylights that animate the interiors throughout the day. Spanning 809 sq m more or less (as stated in supplied council consent documents), the home offers four en-suited bedrooms including a master suite of rare calibre, complete with dual vanities and his-and-hers amenities. Living zones transition seamlessly outdoors to 283 sq m more or less (as stated in supplied council consent documents) of terraces designed for private entertaining, while intelligent CBUS automation, underfloor heating across 11 zones, and a media room with concealed projector deliver technological sophistication and comfort.

Positioned within a peaceful rural setting near Sefton, the home unfolds across three interconnected towers and five levels, where scale, elevation and sweeping coastal views define the living experience. A sculptural spiral staircase forms the heart of the home, while a lift provides effortless access throughout. Its architectural significance was later recognised through its feature on Grand Designs New Zealand. Designed for both everyday living and memorable entertaining, the residence offers generous accommodation, multiple living areas and a central courtyard inspired by traditional Mediterranean planning. A separate two bedroom apartment, complete with its own kitchen, living area and bathroom, provides exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family or independent living. Four internal access garage spaces, generous off street parking, a dedicated wine cellar and a collection of distinctive character spaces, further reinforce the home's remarkable individuality. More than a home, 30 McLeods Road is the expression of an extraordinary vision, where architectural ambition and enduring craftsmanship have created a residence unlike any other.

Some homes reveal themselves immediately. Others ask you to slow down. Beyond the mature trees and gently winding driveway lies a property set on approximately 5.46 hectares that has quietly evolved over generations. Surrounded by established gardens and open lawns, this welcoming country residence possesses a rare sense of peace, privacy and permanence that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Rather than demanding attention, it rewards those who take the time to appreciate it.

Complementing the residence are three substantial outbuildings that have quietly supported both creative and home based businesses over the years.

Equally suited to family life, creative pursuits or simply enjoying the space that surrounds you, it offers a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Some properties are remembered for their architecture. Others for their location. This one is remembered for something much more difficult to create. A feeling. From the moment you arrive beneath the trees, there is an unmistakable sense that this is a place where life has unfolded naturally over many years, and where the next owners have the opportunity to continue that story in their own way.
