Description
Tucked into a sought-after pocket of Havelock North, 41 Percy Berry Place is a home that instantly feels welcoming - light-filled, thoughtfully designed, and perfectly attuned to modern family living, while also offering a peaceful setting that will appeal to downsizers and retirees. Completed in 2014, this low-maintenance residence offers an effortless blend of space, comfort, and connection. Large windows draw in natural light throughout the day, creating a warm and uplifting atmosphere, while a full ducted air conditioning system ensures year-round comfort. The heart of the home opens seamlessly to an expansive covered deck, a natural extension of the living spaces and a place where everyday moments and special occasions come together with ease. The kitchen is both generous and beautifully functional, centred around a large island bench with breakfast bar - the kind of space where conversations flow, homework gets done, and gatherings naturally gravitate. Open-plan dining and family living enhance this sense of connection, while a separate lounge provides the flexibility to retreat, unwind, or close off for quiet evenings. The master suite is its own peaceful haven, complete with a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite, and direct access to the deck, perfect for slow mornings or a quiet moment at the end of the day. Three additional bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, are well supported by a family bathroom and separate powder room, offering practicality for busy households. Outside, the fully fenced, low-maintenance section offers landscaped grounds and a wonderful sense of privacy, creating a safe, secure environment where children and pets can play freely. A double internal-access garage with integrated laundry and excellent storage, along with further storage throughout the home, ensures everyday living remains as functional as it is enjoyable. Positioned close to reserves, excellent schooling, Te Mata Peak walking trails, and some of Hawke’s Bay’s finest wineries, this is a
location that truly complements the lifestyle on offer. This is a home where life feels easy, spaces are made to be enjoyed, and memories are ready to be made. A Hastings District Council LIM Report and Building Report are available to interested parties. DEADLINE SALE: Closes 2pm, Wednesday 6th May 2026 (unless sold prior) at 15 Havelock Road, Havelock North.

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.
