Description
Spanning approximately 269sqm, this late-2000s build (Code Compliance Certificate dated September 2010) offers the kind of space and flexibility that’s increasingly hard to find. Designed across two generous levels with an elevated outlook, 6 Stirling Place provides room to grow, host and adapt, without compromise. The upper level is centred around everyday living. A spacious lounge opens out to a balcony retreat with manual louvres, creating natural indoor–outdoor connection and an additional place to relax. The kitchen and dining area sit alongside, forming a functional and social hub for family life. The master suite is positioned for comfort, complete with its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. There is the added bonus of a powder room for guests. Downstairs introduces a second dimension to the home. Two further bedrooms, rumpus room and a full family bathroom with separate toilet create genuine versatility. Whether accommodating extended family, independent teenagers, guests, or working from home, this level offers practical separation and long-term adaptability. Double glazing, two heat pumps and gas infinity support year-round comfort, while the inclusion of a double internal access garage plus workshop adds further usability for those needing storage, hobbies or project space. Set on an 811sqm (approx.) section, the backyard provides ample room for entertaining, play or future enhancement. Established and well-sized, it complements the scale of the home itself. Located in Dinsdale and zoned for Aberdeen School, this is a substantial property offering flexibility, function and future-proofed living in equal measure. Please note: the photos are from 2024.

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.
