Description

Fresh, free-flowing and beautifully considered, this modern contemporary haven makes brilliant use of its section to deliver a deceptively spacious three-bedroom retreat, ready for bright new beginnings in an extremely desirable area of Onekawa. Designed with couples and budding families front of mind, 20 Gallipoli Road captures light-spilling comfort across a streamlined footprint where everyday living feels calm, connected and effortlessly easy. At the heart of the home, the quality kitchen anchors open-plan living, inviting guests to gather and eat while keeping an easy eye on the private, low-maintenance outdoor area. With the added comfort of underfloor heating in both the kitchen and bathroom, everyday living comes with a subtle touch of luxury. Whether it's midweek dinners, after-school catch-ups or relaxed weekend entertaining, this is a social hub that balances flow, function and lifestyle warmth in equal measure. Thoughtful zoning continues through the hallway, led by a sunlit master bedroom with a large wardrobe. A

nearby second bedroom keeps little ones close, while bedroom three is quietly positioned to the rear – ideal for older kids, guests or a dedicated work-from-home space. Add a gleaming central bathroom, heat pump, internal-access single garage, and this 1996-built home delivers the look, feel and performance of something near new. Outdoors, established fruit trees including mandarin, peach, nectarine, plum, lemon and lime add colour, character and a seasonal bonus to your backyard. Then there's the

location – quiet, leafy and tightly held. Two quality schools,

nearby parks and pools, and the local supermarket are just around the corner. What more could you want? Call Leon Dear to book your private viewing today 027 575 0004.

Key Fact

NZ has strict biosecurity laws — importing food, plants, or outdoor gear can result in heavy fines. The work-life balance is exceptional, but the job market is small and remote from everywhere.

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.
