Description
This well‑presented three‑bedroom home delivers the fundamentals investors prioritise: a fully fenced section, large standalone garage with workshop space, excellent natural light, and dual heating via heat pump and log burner,
features that strongly support tenant comfort, lower vacancy risk, and long‑term appeal. Some key upgrades are already done. The roof has been replaced in recent years, and the bathroom is near new, helping reduce short‑term maintenance and capital expenditure. The home is built on a concrete ring foundation, assisting with moisture management, underfloor protection, and long‑term structural performance. The layout is practical and tenant‑friendly, with three well‑sized bedrooms, built‑in wardrobes, good storage throughout, and a generous living area. The home enjoys all‑day sun, naturally warming the property and helping to reduce heating costs, an important drawcard for tenants, particularly over winter. Outside, the section is easy‑care and well balanced, large enough to add value, yet manageable for tenants. The large garage, off street parking, and concrete accessways add further functionality and resilience to the investment. The
location underpins consistent rental demand, with two primary schools within easy walking distance, plus
nearby sports facilities, the mountain bike park, hospital, and local dairies,
amenities that appeal to families, key workers, and long‑term tenants alike. If you’re seeking a solid rental investment with immediate income and major capital items already completed, 77 Clyde Road is well worth your consideration. The property is currently rented on a fixed‑term tenancy returning $500 per week, providing immediate cash flow from day one, an attractive proposition for investors seeking stability and certainty. Contact Kimberley Bell to arrange a private viewing or to discuss the investment opportunity further.

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.
