Set on approximately 4.5 hectares of usable land, this lifestyle property offers space, privacy, and endless opportunity to create the lifestyle you've been dreaming of. The land is well set up with fenced paddocks, ideal for grazing a few animals, ponies, or simply enjoying the rural outlook and open space around you. The modernised home offers comfort and practicality for family living, featuring two generous living areas, each with its own wood burner, creating warm and inviting spaces to relax and unwind. The kitchen is designed for those who love to cook, complete with large gas hob cooking, great bench space, and easy flow to the living areas. There are three bedrooms in total, with the master suite positioned upstairs, creating a true retreat. It's impressively spacious and opens out to a wrap-around balcony overlooking the paddocks, the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee while taking in the peaceful rural views. The master also includes a newly renovated ensuite with a beautifully tiled shower. The home also includes a family bathroom, separate laundry, and the added comfort of two heat pumps. Outside, the property continues to impress with three separate sheds, providing excellent storage for tools, toys, farm equipment, or hobby space.

features including 4 water tanks, a pond with a charming wishing well, and even an existing swimming pool and deck area ready to be transformed back into a fantastic family entertaining space. There's also an old horse arena that could be brought back to life with a little work - perfect for those looking to create their own equestrian setup. Properties like this offer the rare chance to embrace the lifestyle dream - space for animals, room for hobbies, and the opportunity to add your own vision and value over time. If you've been searching for a property where lifestyle, land, and potential come together, this could be the one.

Location
Open in Google MapsLiving 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.

Next steps for moving to New Zealand
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
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.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
