Description

Property files copy and paste the link into your browser https://www.propertyfiles.co.nz/property/864970007 Inside 'Paragon' is a serene metropolitan sanctuary, but no more than a stone's throw away, the buzz of this exciting, evolving city entices. Life here can be social or cultural, always stimulating! Nestled almost in the heart of Christchurch's CBD, Paragon Apartments offer an exclusive inner-city lifestyle teeming with opportunities for entertainment and enjoyment, with the bonus of Hagley Park a few metres away. This prestigious and highly respected part of our burgeoning central city was selected by the developer, and a bevy of expertise was enlisted from start to finish. Setting a new benchmark for inner city high-rise apartment living, there are just fourteen in the building over nine levels. The residential tower is directly connected to a carpark building with fully independent double lock-up garages with secure access to the lobby. The main entry from Armagh St is into a magnificent double height atrium lobby with marble floor, Neolith stone walls and a cedar ceiling, a majestic entrance as befits a building of this calibre. This apartment (located on the 1st floor) is north, south and west facing with floor to ceiling glass following the sun until evening. A lift delivers residents and their visitors directly into their own entrance hall for extra privacy and security. The apartment covers approximately 193sqm with bedrooms all with ensuites, balconies, soaring floor to ceiling windows, generous hallways and even a spacious separate laundry. This is a building without equal, a dwelling of unrivalled quality and comfort combined, in an unparalleled location. The developer is determined to realise this asset, so we urge you to book your appointment for viewing.

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

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.
