Positioned high above the harbour in sought-after Company Bay, this is a home that delivers a view you'll never tire of. From sunrise through to the evening lights across the water, the outlook here is simply exceptional. Set across a generous 320m2 (approx), the home has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of its elevated position, with large windows and multiple living spaces all capturing the ever-changing harbour and surrounding landscape. The layout offers flexibility for families or those who love to entertain. Four well-proportioned bedrooms are complemented by a separate office, easily utilised as a fifth bedroom if required. The master suite is a true retreat, complete with a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite, and those same stunning views that define the home. At the heart of the property, the kitchen has been designed with both function and entertaining in mind. Complete with a six-burner gas hob, quality appliances, and a butler's pantry, it connects seamlessly with both formal and informal living areas, giving you options depending on the occasion. Comfort has been carefully considered throughout, with

features including underfloor heating in key areas, multiple heating options including gas and wood fire, and a well-integrated audio and security system that adds both convenience and peace of mind. Step outside and the appeal continues. The grounds have been beautifully established, offering a mix of usable lawn, landscaped gardens, and multiple outdoor living areas. Whether it's a quiet morning coffee or hosting friends in the spa area, there are spaces here to suit every moment. Despite the peaceful setting, you're still well connected. Walking and cycling tracks link you through to Macandrew Bay and the local school, while the city is an easy and scenic drive along the harbour. Homes of this scale, setting, and quality is rare. This is a property that offers not just a place to live, but a lifestyle to settle into and enjoy for years to come.

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.

6

Run the full checklist

Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
