Description
Enjoy the calm of this welcoming four-bedroom home, privately positioned with a peaceful outlook across Caulfield Green. Surrounded by established trees and birdsong, the setting offers a relaxed environment while remaining conveniently located. Arriving at the home, you’re welcomed onto the deck overlooking the reserve. From here, step through the sliding doors directly into the living room, where raking ceilings create a strong sense of space and character and form the heart of the home. The kitchen offers a practical layout with a breakfast bar opening through to the dining area — ideal for everyday meals, casual dining, and staying connected with family or guests. The home offers four bedrooms across two levels — two doubles and two singles — with one of each upstairs and downstairs, creating flexibility for families, guests, or those needing extra room. Upstairs, a mezzanine landing with an office nook provides a handy space for working from home, study, or hobbies. Set on a fully fenced freehold section, the property provides a secure space for children and pets, along with the convenience of a double garage for parking and storage. With its green outlook, practical layout, and peaceful setting, this home presents a great opportunity for families, first-home buyers, or anyone looking for comfortable living in a quiet environment.

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.
