Description
If you’ve been looking for that effortless peninsula lifestyle, 101 Rangitahi Road delivers the optimum mix of style and easy living. Perfectly positioned for the sun, sunlight floods across the open-plan living areas and out onto a north-facing deck that was made for summer BBQs. Whether you’re prepping dinner in the kitchen or relaxing on the deck, you’ve got front-row seats to spectacular sunsets over the Raglan golf course and Mt Karioi. Plus, with the addition of a 6m x 3m pergola, it’s a stylish, sheltered sanctuary that lets you enjoy the outdoors year-round. The layout is smart and designed for the way families actually live. There’s plenty of room to stretch out, with open-plan living areas and a generous separate lounge, ideal as a dedicated media room for movie nights or a quiet retreat when you need a bit of space. When it’s time to switch off, the four double bedrooms are welcoming, and the master is complete with an ensuite, walk-in robe, and its own private access to the backyard for those slow weekend mornings. Outside, the flat, fully fenced section is a safe haven for kids and pets. The landscaping is already well underway with established natives, a raised veggie garden, and the start of your own orchard, including feijoa hedging, plum, persimmon, and passionfruit. A huge asset is how low maintenance the section is, giving you more free time for the most important things in life, like making memories. Practicality is sorted, too, with a large internal access garage that includes the laundry, ideal for dropping the beach gear or sports kit at the end of a busy day, and a garden shed for the tools. For peace of mind the property has a 10 Year Master Builder’s guarantee. Being in the heart of the peninsula means you’re just a two-minute stroll from the tennis and basketball courts, and the future gym and pool are just around the corner. Raglan township, beaches, and bays are all easily accessible too. Whether you’re looking for a permanent family home, a smart first step into Raglan’s fastest growing community, or a stylish "lock-up-and-leave" holiday rental that can help pay its own way, this home offers an attainable slice of the Raglan lifestyle without the high-maintenance headache. Contact Stephen or Michelle for further info and to view.

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.
