Description
Do you have the vision to make a home your own? This solid three-bedroom property, set on approximately 6,824m² (more or less), presents an excellent opportunity for those seeking an entry into lifestyle living, with plenty of scope to enhance and unlock its full potential. The home comprises three bedrooms, an open plan kitchen, and a dining area, complemented by a separate lounge. French doors open out to a fully fenced in-ground swimming pool, which is currently NOT in working order and will be sold on an "as-is" basis. The spacious section is ideal for grazing a few sheep or accommodating a pony. A wide variety of fruit trees-including apple, pear, orange, avocado, mandarin, lemon, fig, grapefruit, and peach-enhance the appeal. This is an excellent opportunity for those who enjoy gardening and a lifestyle setting. Conveniently located at 2079 Gordonton Road, it offers easy access to the new expressway connecting to Huntly and Auckland, while Gordonton township is just a short drive away. Priced to sell, this property represents a fantastic lifestyle opportunity. Please contact Mary Zhang on 021 0710 428 for a viewing or come to my open homes.

Next steps for moving to New Zealand
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
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.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
