Exeter 171 Rockleigh Road

Secluded Elegance

Nestled in the heart of Exeter on 4.86 hectares of private, gently sloping land, Rockleigh Retreat is a masterfully designed contemporary residence offering the perfect fusion of luxury, comfort, and sustainability. Conceived by acclaimed designer Roberto Gnecchi Ruscone, this striking passive solar home sits less than 2.5 km from Exeter Railway Station, yet feels worlds away, surrounded by expansive rural views and total seclusion. From the moment you enter via the stunning barn door and covered breezeway, the property impresses with its open-plan design, polished concrete floors, high raked ceilings, and a dramatic Chimenees Phillipe fireplace at the heart of the home. The residence features a thoughtfully zoned floorplan including a private master suite with deluxe ensuite, a separate guest wing with a second ensuite bedroom, and two additional spacious bedrooms. Multiple living areas, including a media room or formal lounge, allow for versatile living. With 22kW of solar panels and battery, 3-phase power, and both town water and 120,000 litre underground rainwater storage tank, the home offers efficient, self-sufficient living without compromise. Whether entertaining on the deck, relaxing by the firepit, or simply enjoying the views, this home is a true sanctuary.
