Description

The sellers have loved the sense of community here and are now off to their next chapter in Taupo, with their move already locked in for May. A big part of what they'll miss is the garaging and storage, a standout for anyone into cars, bikes, or hands on projects, with a layout that works especially well for motorbikes and tinkering. It's not your standard setup either, with a triple garage featuring dual access from two separate automatic doors, giving you flexibility you don't often see, all supported by a wide concrete driveway with generous off street parking. Key

Features: Triple garage with dual access via two separate automatic doors Wide concrete driveway with parking for up to six vehicles Two living areas including separate formal lounge Open plan kitchen, dining and living flowing to deck Modern kitchen with double oven and walk in pantry Three bedrooms with built in wardrobes Master with walk in robe, ensuite and a private deck Family bathroom with shower and bathtub, plus separate toilet Internal laundry within the garage Easy care 753sqm section with flat lawn and established hedging Brick and cedar, single level, approx. 210sqm

floor area Inside, it's easy, functional living done right. Two separate living areas give you options, while the main hub opens wide to a sun soaked deck and that standout country view framed by mature hedges. It's low stress, low maintenance, and ready to go. The kitchen holds its own too. Bright, modern and built for real use with double ovens, double dishwashers and a walk in pantry to boot. The bedroom wing is well laid out and private. Three bedrooms, all with storage. The master steps it up with a walk in robe, ensuite and its own deck, perfect for a quiet morning coffee with a view. Kumeu living means space, quiet and a bit of breathing room, without losing convenience. Local wineries, shops, schools and an easy run back to the city are all within reach. You're right in the mix, but positioned on the edge of the village, giving you a private, country feel that's hard to find in homes like this. The sellers are flexible on deposit and settlement terms, open to considering a trade, and are seeking cash and unconditional buyers. If mobility is a consideration, you can drive straight in and move through the home with ease. Come see what all the garage hype is about. Agents bring your buyers, we offer conjunctional from day one. Download the property documents here: https://www.agentsend.com/MKZZ https://www.diego.nz/13vogwillroad

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.
