Description

With the owners having an offer accepted on another property and not wanting to miss out, this home now demands urgent attention. Showcasing classic 1980s Mason & Wales architecture, this substantial residence offers generous proportions, timeless design, and outstanding potential in one of Dunedin's most sought-after neighbourhoods. Designed with family living in mind, the home

features three well-sized bedrooms plus study, separate bathroom facilities, and light-filled living spaces that flow seamlessly outdoors - ideal for entertaining and everyday living. A level-access garage from the street, complete with a pit connecting through to the expansive basement garage and workshop, provides exceptional practicality and storage options rarely found. At the heart of the home, a stunning new kitchen looks out to lush bush alive with birdsong, creating a peaceful outlook that feels like you're living in your very own treehouse retreat. There is a real sense that magic is found in every corner of this home, offering warmth, character, and a connection to nature that is increasingly hard to find. Positioned close to Roslyn Village, Māori Hill, quality schooling, and the city, this is a

location that continues to perform and remain in high demand. The situation is clear - the owners are highly motivated and keen to see a result so they can secure their next move. All serious interest is encouraged, and early action is strongly advised.

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.
