Description

To download all information please copy and paste the following link into your browser - https://www.propertyfiles.co.nz/property/961450006 Our serious sellers are downsizing and have already purchased their new smaller home in the city. They are ready to move! This is a home with recreation on the doorstep, and it must be sold! On a sun-drenched corner site, overlooking the prestigious Christchurch Golf Course, this home is surrounded in parkland, yet just ten minutes from the CBD and three minutes from local shopping at The Palms and the new Homebase Retail Development. The wetland sanctuary of Horseshoe Lake Reserve with accessible walking trails and rich ecology is just across the road, providing a serene retreat from urban life. However, keen golfers will surely find real appeal in the five-minute stroll down to the club house at Shirley Links, the second oldest club in NZ with a rich heritage dating back to 1873! Set on 584sqm, north facing in a lovely established garden, this imposing brick home was originally a builders own, constructed with care and attention to detail. Spacious at just a little under 300sqm of accommodation, here is a property to suit a myriad of buyers. Future proofed with the master bedroom downstairs and an internal lift to the upper floor, we can see possibilities for an extended family. Upstairs, three more bedrooms are arranged around a third living room with a kitchenette and doors to a sunny balcony with glorious views over the golf course. Downstairs, all rooms open through doors onto decking and the pretty garden. The large open plan kitchen, dining and family room, and separate living, provide ample space for a diverse family lifestyle. Double garaging is extra long allowing room for a workshop and storage above. A door opens to a sheltered back yard where a raised bed brims with veges, and espaliered apples line the fence. A garden shed provides practical storage. Heat pumps and full double glazing keep everything cosy in our winter months. We urge your inspection of this most practicable property and are certain you will be impressed with not only the sublime location, but also the exceptional value on offer!

Living in Christchurch

Rebuilt and reimagined after the 2011 earthquakes, Christchurch is New Zealand's most affordable major city with a flat, bikeable layout and easy access to both beaches and ski fields. The rebuild has created a modern, innovative city center, and the Canterbury region offers a drier, sunnier climate than Wellington or Auckland. A smaller expat community means a more authentic Kiwi experience.

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.
