Description
If you’ve been dreaming of space, privacy and a true country lifestyle without sacrificing convenience, this beautifully presented family home delivers in every way. Set on a popular 5,060m² lifestyle section in peaceful Allanton, this is a property designed for families to grow, play and thrive. The grounds are farm-fenced and stock-proof, with two fully fenced paddocks, lush lawns, established trees and thoughtfully planned planting that create a picturesque rural setting. A sweeping driveway leads you to the home, offering a warm and welcoming first impression. The dark-stained post and rail fencing contrasts beautifully with the cream brick exterior and white roses, while the pergola at the front of the home ties everything together, creating a charming country retreat feel from the moment you arrive. Inside, the 200m² floor plan is incredibly family-friendly and practical. The home has been recently refreshed with light, modern white interiors, along with new curtains and blinds that enhance the sense of space and natural light throughout. There are three generous double bedrooms, including a master suite complete with ensuite and sliding door access to the outdoors. All bedrooms are positioned off the hallway, alongside a family bathroom with both shower and bath, plus a separate laundry for added convenience. The heart of the home is the expansive open-plan living area, featuring a modern kitchen with bespoke green tiled splashback, excellent storage and great connection to the dining and lounge spaces. Large sliding doors create seamless indoor-outdoor flow to the pergola and entertaining area, perfect for long summer evenings. The home is solidly constructed with brick cladding, iron roofing and aluminium joinery, built on a concrete slab for peace of mind. Heating is well covered with a freestanding wood burner that creates a cosy focal point, complemented by a heat pump and ceiling insulation to ensure year-round comfort. Internal access double garaging is supported by a small additional bonus room, ideal as a compact home office, hobby nook or extra storage space. There is also heaps of off-street parking, providing plenty of room for trailers, boats, caravans or multiple vehicles. Water storage is generous with a 33,000-litre tank servicing the property. This is a lifestyle where children can kick a ball, play cricket, keep a few sheep or simply enjoy wide open space. All of this, while being just minutes from Mosgiel and within easy reach of schools, amenities, cafés and restaurants. A special opportunity to embrace relaxed country living in a welcoming rural setting.

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.
