Description

Positioned in a highly sought-after Te Puke location, this impressive two-storey home delivers space, quality, and versatility in equal measure, ideal for growing families, extended households, or buyers seeking flexible living options. Built in 2018 and set on an easy-care 469sqm (more or less) section, the home offers approximately 248sqm (more or less) of thoughtfully designed living. From the moment you step inside, the sense of scale and quality is immediately evident, complemented by excellent natural light and modern finishes throughout. The heart of the home is the contemporary open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area.

Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms, serviced by a full family bathroom, along with a spacious second lounge. This upper-level living area opens out to a sunny balcony, offering elevated views and providing the perfect space to unwind or enjoy a quiet moment away from the main living areas. Comfort has been carefully considered throughout, with double glazing across the home, excellent indoor-outdoor flow, and multiple living zones ensuring year-round enjoyment. The property also

features three bathrooms in total, making daily life easy for busy households. Completing the home is a large double internal-access garage, offering excellent storage and practicality. What truly sets this home apart is its unbeatable location. Situated within walking distance to schools for all age groups, directly across the road from one of Te Puke’s most sought-after kindergartens, and just moments from Little Park, the convenience for families is exceptional. With local

amenities close by, the

location simply could not be better. A LIM report is available on request. This is a home that combines location, size, quality, and lifestyle — and one that truly needs to be experienced in person to be fully appreciated.

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.
