Description

PLEASE DISREGARD ALL ONLINE ESTIMATES AND LAND SIZE - that is all based on pre subdivision* This collection of seven freehold terraced homes in Mt Albert suits those wanting to secure now ahead of settlement. Architecturally confident, intelligently configured, and delivered by a developer whose last local project saw strong pre-sales. Reputation matters in Mt Albert and these homes will deliver. The layout is anything but ordinary: Entry is mid-level, a considered layout choice to suit a broad range of ages and stages. Below, rare double garaging sits alongside a bedroom and full bathroom, creating options for guests, teens and work-from-home. Above, three further bedrooms and two bathrooms offer separation and retreat. Alternatively, configure as three bedrooms plus a flexi space and study. Materials have been curated: Original San Selmo brick by Brickworks pairs with James Hardie panel cladding and Metalcraft roofline for low maintenance and enduring street appeal. Inside, wood cabinetry with engineered stone, European appliances, tiled splashbacks, and oak flooring across the living level create a refined finish. Bathrooms are fully tiled with underfloor heating, frameless glass showers, custom vanities and ABI tapware. Central heating warms the upper and living floors. Double glazing to the latest H1 standard ensures year-round comfort. EV charger wiring is in place. Each home enjoys a sunny courtyard and decking, extending the living space in a low maintenance setting with elevated views. Walkability here is strong, with zoning for excellent schools, proximity to shops and transport, and easy access to the CBD. Positioned within one of the area's most regarded streets. Practical completion is scheduled for late 2026, giving buyers time to plan while securing a position in a

location that needs little introduction. Information packs, plans and material selections are available at Ray White Mt Eden. A product sample board and developer viewings are available. Please contact Rachel for details. Seven homes. A finite opportunity.

Living in Auckland

Multicultural harbor city that feels like a softer version of California -- great food scene, easy nature access, and a strong work-life balance culture. Housing is expensive (NZ ranks 7th globally for home prices) and everything costs more due to import prices, but salaries come with generous time off and strong worker protections. The biggest adjustment is the distance -- getting home to visit family is a long, expensive flight.

Morning surf before work, weekends tramping through Lord-of-the-Rings landscapes, and a laid-back culture where shoes are optional and nature is never more than ten minutes away.

Visa

Skilled Migrant Category Resident Visa — points-based system requiring a skilled job offer in NZ. New pathways opening August 2026 for trades workers and those with 5+ years experience. Accredited Employer Work Visa is the faster route if you already have a job offer.

Key Fact

NZ has strict biosecurity laws — importing food, plants, or outdoor gear can result in heavy fines. The work-life balance is exceptional, but the job market is small and remote from everywhere.

Next steps for moving to New Zealand

Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.

1

Understand the buying rules

Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.

2

Sort out your visa

Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.

3

Plan your finances

Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.

4

Know your tax obligations

US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.

5

Set up healthcare

Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.

6

Run the full checklist

Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
