Where design, landscape, and lifestyle converge in effortless harmony. Elevated to capture harbour and mountain vistas, this residence is a masterclass in understated sophistication. Its carefully considered position frames breathtaking outlooks stretching from the iconic silhouette of Mt Karioi to the west, across the golf course and shimmering harbour toward town.

Inside, the home reveals a beautifully resolved interior where form meets function. The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen is bathed in natural light and oriented to maximise its remarkable outlook. Clean lines, quality finishes, and a restrained material palette create a sense of calm, refined living. Transitioning effortlessly to the covered deck, the living space extends outdoors - offering a private vantage point to entertain or unwind while taking in Raglan’s ever-changing coastal beauty. Accommodation comprises two well-proportioned bedrooms, complemented by a meticulously appointed bathroom and considered storage throughout.

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.
