Description
***viewings by appointment only*** This is the kind of property buyers wait years for and regret missing. Here you are getting two fully separate homes on one 2,503sqm section (more or less). That means family flexibility, income producing, and a faster path to owning your home outright. The main five-bedroom home has the space every growing family wants. Big living area, great flow to covered outdoor spaces front and back, and loads of room to modernise and add value as you go. It is solid, practical, and ready for the next family to make it their own. The fully self-contained, wheelchair friendly two-bedroom cottage is the game changer here. Have the grandparents close or the teenagers with their own space. Or rent it out and let someone else help pay your mortgage every single week. This second home turns good buying into great buying! Outside, there is space everywhere. A sweeping ornamental front garden for street appeal, and a big, backyard ready for vege gardens, pool for the kids, pets, sheds - this is real land you can actually use. Close drive to Taradale shops, Meeanee, schools, and with quick access to the motorway, daily life is easy while you still enjoy the space and privacy Jervoistown is loved for. Two homes. One title. Don't miss this one! Call TEAM COLDICUTT to book your private 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.
