Description

This is a home where privacy, tranquility, and beautifully established gardens take centre stage. Tucked at the very end of sought-after Pinehurst Crescent, this stunning residence has had one owner from construction just a few years ago, offering the rare combination of modern living with the charm and maturity of a well-established setting. The garden will make a lasting impression. Lush, plantings surround the home, creating a private sanctuary that feels calm, settled, and wonderfully secluded. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee, entertaining friends, or relishing in the sunshine this property offers a sense of peace that's increasingly hard to find. Inside, the home connects seamlessly with the outdoors. The family chef will love the well-appointed kitchen, complete with a generous walk-in pantry and the added bonus of freshly grown produce from the established vegetable garden. Light-filled, open-plan living spaces flow naturally, allowing the outdoors to become a natural extension of the home. Two generous living spaces create flexibility for everyone whether you're wanting a quiet retreat, a media space, or simply a second living space to retreat to. With four spacious bedrooms, the master is a true sanctuary featuring a walk-in robe, ensuite, and its own private patio - the perfect spot to enjoy the garden outlook. The remaining three bedrooms are serviced by a sleek, modern family bathroom and separate toilet. This is a home that offers more than just a beautiful interior, it offers a lifestyle. A private, established garden, a peaceful cul-de-sac position, and short walk or cart to the golf course. Seize the opportunity to take a slower pace in life. Call us today to arrange your private tour or come along to a scheduled open home.

Next steps for moving to New Zealand

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.

2

Sort out your visa

Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.

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.

5

Set up healthcare

Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.

6

Run the full checklist

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