Description

The ultimate lifestyle package - have you been searching for the perfect balance of rural serenity and town convenience, your search ends at Turuturu Road. Set back from the road for ultimate privacy on a sprawling 2.25 hectares (5.5 acres), this property is a masterclass in lifestyle living. Whether you're an equestrian enthusiast, a tradie needing serious storage, or a family looking for room to breathe, this is the one that truly "ticks all the boxes". At the heart of the property is a beautifully presented Lockwood "Initial" style home. It's light, bright, and incredibly welcoming, featuring three bedrooms and a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area. When it comes to comfort, no expense has been spared. Covered for every season, a cozy log fire with wetback. Heat pump, heat transfer system, and ceiling insulation. Underfloor heating, aluminium joinery throughout, and infinity gas hot water. A double garage with internal access - a lifesaver on those wet Taranaki days! Constructed with easy-care Palisade exterior and a durable iron roof, this home is built for relaxation, not chores. Step outside to your private courtyard - the perfect spot for those "Gin + Tonic" evenings while you soak in the stunning mountain view and peaceful privacy of your own sanctuary. A hobbyist's dream, this is where the property truly stands apart, the outbuildings offer endless possibilities: - 12m x 7m stand-alone garage that is already lined, insulated, and ready for whatever you can dream up - home gym, ultimate man-cave, or a professional workspace.

- High stud storage with power, perfect for the horse float, motorhome, or boat.

- Equestrian or Lifestyle Farming, currently set up with two stables, a tack-up bay, and a lockable tack room. If horses aren't your thing, it's the ideal setup for calf rearing or small-scale farming.

- Professional 61m x 25m Treadlite arena and eight well-fenced paddocks. You get the best of both worlds here, three water tanks plus town water available at the gate. And there's a major bonus on the horizon - the new pedestrian footpath on Turuturu Road will run right past your drive, making those evening strolls safer and easier than ever. Whether you are a retiring farmer wanting to keep your space, a growing family, or a serious horse enthusiast, this property is truly unique and ready for its next chapter, move in and start making memories.

Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.

1

Understand the buying rules

Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.

3

Plan your finances

Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.

4

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.

Run the full checklist

Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
