Coatesville, Rodney

This sensational residence, designed by one of NZ's leading architects, Fearon Hay, has been meticulously crafted by Rucon Construction, delivering an exceptional blend of understated luxury.Positioned on an elevated site of approximately three acres or just over one hectare, it offers some of the best views in Coatesville. The outlook to the north offers a protected reserve green belt. The home takes this in and spans to enjoy a perfect North-West orientation to the pool. Cedar cladding, rendered brickwork and floor-to-ceiling Schüco double glazing sets a contemporary tone, and the twin cedar-clad pavilions create a striking arrival and fantastic separation of living when required. A serene courtyard centred around a mature cork tree anchors the home’s calm, elegant aesthetic. Light-filled living spaces unfold in an impressive open-plan layout, where a travertine island, Boffi cabinetry and premium European appliances define the designer kitchen. Automated pocket doors open to sun-drenched terraces, manicured lawns, a 15-metre heated pool with integrated spa, and beautifully landscaped grounds. Supplementing the main living areas are a media room, library, sitting area and superb zones for everyday living and entertaining. The main residence offers four beautifully appointed bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms thoughtfully positioned for privacy and comfort, including a private master suite with its own terrace, a generous dressing room and a luxurious stone ensuite. Underfloor heating, ducted air conditioning, French oak floors and soft wool carpets ensure year-round comfort. Additional spaces include a separate laundry, internal-access double garage, gym, storage and equipment for the home’s heating and air-exchange systems. The second building provides a large games room with a full bathroom and ducted air conditioning, plus an additional double garage offering impressive flexibility.
