Description
Priced to sell - our vendors have secured their next property and are motivated to consider offers, significantly below the RV! Privately positioned off a no-exit road in the desirable Tuki Tuki Valley, awaits this beautifully presented lifestyle property complete with two dwellings, grazing paddocks, income from a small orchard, multiple sheds, and established gardens. The central
location allows for a short commute to all the main centres, the airport, beaches, wineries, and restaurants. Tastefully renovated in recent years and ready to move into, the main dwelling boasts modern upgrades for comfort and peace of mind, including double-glazing, new carpet, new roof, and a fully repainted exterior. Thoughtfully designed for effortless family living, three spacious living areas open to substantial north-facing decks, with an elevated outlook over the lush lawn and swimming pool. Two deck areas are covered, and one also has shelter blinds and heaters for year-round entertaining. This generous family home comprises four double bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. A separate office, well-appointed family bathroom, efficient heating, and ample storage, add to the practical living on offer. Adjacent to the main dwelling is a double garage and carport, along with an attached hobby room or store room and bathroom – perfect for work from home projects. Beautifully established, the tranquil surrounding gardens include an inground saltwater pool, a myriad of fruit trees, sweeping lawns, vegetable beds, a large greenhouse, garden shed, and mature specimen trees playing host to playful Tui. Nearby, but screened by a manicured hedge and with separate driveway access, is a well-appointed two-bedroom cottage, boasting a generous open-plan kitchen and living area, sunny deck, practical bathroom, and covered carport. Currently run as a fixed-term rental, this very tidy cottage would also be ideal for elderly parents, visiting friends and family, or Air BnB. With 8.27ha (more or less) in total, including approximately 5ha planted in apples and currently leased, there is plenty of room for family activities whilst affording absolute privacy. A 1ha paddock has recently been planted in new grass and
features new fencing, plus there are an additional four smaller paddocks and a set of covered day stalls for the ponies. A bore with an existing consent for orchard irrigation purposes also provides water to troughs for the stock, and runs through a softener to supply domestic water for the main dwelling and cottage. A haven for nature lovers and adventure seekers, there’s something for everyone in the family to enjoy, with wonderful cycle trails, world-class fishing, beaches, and Cape Kidnappers all at your doorstep. Ticking all the boxes for lifestyle, location, income, and family living, this is a spectacular proposition. Vendors are on the move! Don't miss your opportunity to view - contact us 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.
