Description

This is a super sized four bedroom, two bathroom, two living area home or if you so need, a five bedroom, two bathroom, one living area home. A super versatile and very appealing floor plan with open plan living, dining and kitchen, bedrooms and bathroom downstairs and a master suite with a lovely elevated view upstairs. The ensuite and walk in robe will really seal the deal. This home has a lovely modern flow with several outdoor entertaining areas so no matter the season or the weather, you have somewhere to sit, host and relax. Busy family life is a breeze here with a super functional bathroom downstairs, lots of storage and a separate laundry. There is a carport to get inside out of the weather, as well as a separate double garage and woodshed. You will be warm with a well insulated home and a new woodburner too. The exterior is well maintained and very well presented, the section is fenced and has plenty of space for kids to run and play, even a large concrete driveway for bikes and scooters. As we said, pot of gold! Our owners have loved this home for many years but as children grow, the time has come for a new family to enjoy this very well appointed and super sized family home.

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.
