Visiting this Point Leo property for the first time, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d arrived at an idyllic country spa retreat.
Set on 4079sq m of landscaped native grounds, 61 Murray Drive, Point Leo features silvertop ash cladding that blends with the natural coastal surrounds, creating a sense of relaxation, calm and rawness before you step inside.
“The home was designed for quiet reflection and retreat, but also … we wanted to build a home that could expand and contract with the seasons and our moods,” the vendor says.
The vendors who purchased the property (then a paddock) in 2018 engaged the help of CJH Studio and Fleet Constructions to bring their vision to life.
Darker timber floors layered with light timber furnishings, oatmeal hues on walls, and timber panelling – the home’s interiors feature striking hard-wearing materials.

A Point Leo home has hit the market.
The outdoor area overlooks a heated magnesium pool.
The property creates a sense of relaxation and calm.
The colours used in the interior also emphasise this feeling of calm, the vendor explains.
“The palette of the home is soft and natural, layers of milky creamy tones blended with warmer timbers,” she says.
“The details are soft, textured – cosy from within, but always drawing your gaze out towards the magnificent garden.”
Additionally, the vendors wanted a home that would be good for entertaining and for bringing their friends and family together, and the home’s proportions – twin cathedral ceilings, two separate living spaces, one with an open fireplace, and a private bedroom wing – offer the ideal space for this.
“The home is intimate enough for a couple and large enough for a family,” the vendor says.
“We deliberately sized it this way and love that it’s flexible.”
The kitchen, with dual Miele ovens, integrated Smeg and Fisher & Paykel appliances, stone benchtops, and quality cabinetry incorporating a bespoke fitted bar, also suits this.
“I love to cook and often have a kitchen full of willing helpers. It’s generous and oversized and with two ovens essential for big family meals,” the vendor says.

Oversized retractable glazing opens to an outdoor area with heating, creating indoor-outdoor living and further connecting the home’s interior with the surrounding environment.
“We wanted our home to sit quietly and sympathetically within the environment,” the vendor says.
The outdoor area overlooks a heated magnesium pool and spa, an in-ground trampoline, and an established, landscaped native garden.
“It’s amazing how little maintenance the garden requires,” the vendor says.
“We love how the plants and trees move with the wind and create shadows that dance throughout the day.”
