Description
This striking three-level luxury home offers architectural excellence and lifestyle freedom. Its unique design makes the most of spectacular views, outdoor living and leisure. Completed in December 2022, the home is positioned on a bush-clad ridge with panoramic views over Golden Valley, Waihi, Whangamata and out to Mayor Island and White Island. This off-grid home
features stylish modern, sustainable living wrapped in Abodo timber, topped with a sleek and enduring coloursteel roof. The central level hosts the heart of the home; a premium kitchen with Dekton benchtops, island, induction cooking and a scullery. The kitchen flows into openplan dining and living areas, warmed by a rotating wood burner, and extends via stacker doors to a sun-soaked terrace and a covered outdoor entertaining area. A luxurious master suite with walk-in wardrobe and full ensuite, a powder room, a fourth bedroom or office, and an outdoor studio/sleepout add versatility. A saltwater pool, added in Spring 2024, further enhances outdoor living. Upstairs is a private lounge with elevated views; ideal for quiet retreat. Downstairs offers two bedrooms with a Jack and Jill bathroom, ample storage, a double garage with integrated laundry, and internal access. A lift connects all three levels. Built for comfort and efficiency, it includes underfloor heating, heat pump water system, solar power with battery storage, backup generator and rainwater collection. Set on 10.9 hectares (more or less) of pasture and native bush, this fully fenced property offers seclusion, or horticultural potential - with adjoining grazing land available to lease for the successful purchaser - just minutes to Waihi township and services, Waihi Beach and stunning Homunga Bay.

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.
