Some homes follow convention. This one never intended to.
Inspired by Mediterranean travel, 30 McLeods Road is the realisation of an extraordinary vision. Designed by architect Philip Kennedy and originally commissioned by a Christchurch builder with a passion for architectural form, the residence evolved over many years into one of Canterbury's most distinctive homes. A scale model of the original design, still held at the property, remains a lasting reminder of the ambition behind the project.
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.
