Description

A private oasis awaits you at 10 Mountfort Street in lovely Outram, surrounded by birdsong, this unique family home has so much to offer inside and out. Well-fenced for privacy from the street, this property immediately shows it has been a much-loved home for its owner of more than 20 years. Bathed in sun, the north-west facing lounge

features a striking raking ceiling, large bi-fold windows and a Yunca burner for winter warmth, this flows seamlessly to a bright atrium-style kitchen and dining area. The design brings the outdoors in on cooler days, while double doors open easily to the deck and garden for summer living. Wooden stairs in the lounge take you to a mezzanine level with a commanding master suite with walk in robe and ensuite. Three further bedrooms are on the ground level, with good storage in all and one offering an inbuilt desk and shelving making it the perfect spot for working from home. The large family bathroom offering both bath and shower options is also on this level next to a separate toilet. The laundry is also separate, and good storage is offered throughout. The double garage is internally accessed. The quarter acre site set on Outram's top-class soil offers an abundance of beautiful blooms, mature trees and a thriving orchard of grapefruit, apples, plums, apricot and an abundance of berries. Outram's famous micro-climate, along with the school, fantastic

amenities with the local shop just metres away and a short stroll to Blend Cafe and the Outram Hotel, there is so much to love

about a move to Outram.

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.
