Description
My motivated vendors are ready to 'pass the mantle' of their delightful home; designed to embrace its breathtaking surroundings, the charming three-bedroom home is warm, inviting, and filled with natural light. Overlooking the ocean, this is the perfect place to sit back, relax, and soak in the stunning scenery. Set on an expansive 7034sqm (potentially subdividable) block in rural Mohaka, this beautiful lifestyle property offers the best of both worlds—peaceful country living with stunning coastal views. Just a short drive from Wairoa, and within easy reach of Napier, Hastings, and Gisborne, it’s the perfect
location to unwind, enjoy nature, and make the most of a self-sufficient lifestyle. The well-appointed kitchen is stylish and functional, offering plenty of space, quality appliances, and a beautiful sunny outlook. The open-plan dining area is positioned to take full advantage of the water views, making every meal a special occasion. With three generously sized bedrooms, there’s plenty of space for family and guests. The master bedroom enjoys private access to the deck, allowing you to wake up to peaceful coastal views each morning. A well-appointed family bathroom, separate shower, and laundry ensure practicality for everyday living. Beyond the home, the property is well-equipped for those looking to embrace a self-sufficient lifestyle. Multiple outbuildings include a single garage, a large three-bay implement shed, a workshop, woodshed, and sheep yards. The fully fenced paddocks offer space for animals, while the mature trees and open pastures create a scenic, rural retreat. With fishing, swimming, white baiting, and coastal walks within easy reach, this is a property where you can truly embrace a slower, more peaceful way of life. Whether you’re looking for a permanent escape or a dream weekend retreat, this is an opportunity not to be missed. Contact Becs to arrange your viewing today.

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.
