Description

With our clients already relocated, this property is seriously for sale and priced to meet the market at nearly $200,000 below CV. Opportunities like this are rare. Timeless character meets modern ease in this beautifully presented early-1900s villa, perfectly positioned between Havelock North and Hastings. Offering both convenience and a sense of escape, this is a lifestyle opportunity in a tightly held pocket. Thoughtfully updated, the home is refined yet welcoming. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is light-filled and generous, flowing effortlessly to a wraparound verandah with vistas of the cleverly designed gardens. It’s a natural setting for entertaining or unwinding, complemented by a separate formal living room for added flexibility. Year-round comfort is assured with a fully ducted commercial-grade air conditioning system. The primary suite opens to the verandah and heated plunge pool, complete with generous wardrobing and a stylish en-suite. Two further queen bedrooms, a fourth bedroom or large office, a contemporary family bathroom, guest WC and a well-designed laundry/mudroom complete the home. Privately positioned, the fully self-contained studio with its own entrance, parking, kitchenette and shower offers excellent flexibility for guests, extended family or Airbnb income. A recently added double garage is fully lined and insulated, with wiring in place for EV charging. Set on just under 9,000sqm, the grounds are beautifully established for easy maintenance with structured hedging, winding pathways and a charming ha-ha separating the garden from the paddock beyond. The current owners have hosted a number of weddings on the property, plus the airbnb aspect means there is excellent opportunity for income potential. Boundary lines are indicative only.

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.
