Description

Set on a generous 1,330m² freehold section, this rare coastal property offers two separate dwellings and a private walkway leading directly to the beach - a true lifestyle sanctuary in a highly sought-after area. The main dwelling

features a comfortable one-bedroom layout with a bathroom, and French doors opening directly onto the deck, delivering seamless indoor-outdoor flow and a natural connection to sun-soaked outdoor living. A compact yet highly functional kitchen is finished with timber benchtops, open shelving, and a freestanding oven, perfect for effortless everyday living. Multiple windows throughout both dwellings draw in natural light, creating a calm, airy atmosphere that harmonises beautifully with the surrounding coastal environment. The sleepout boasts a king-size mezzanine, deck, and private access via a charming pathway from the main house, ideal for guests, extended family, or potential income. Designed for comfort and self-sufficiency, the property includes a woodburner, fully rewired electrics, a new coastal-grade roof, and a 20,000L rainwater tank. The modern four-chamber septic system (replaced in 2017 with external pump) ensures peace of mind. Outdoors, you’ll find two sheds (one powered) and a chicken coop, all set within sunlit, practical grounds. With the beach just moments away and the security of a freehold title, this property offers an unmatched coastal lifestyle in a rare, hard-to-find package. Property

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.
