Description

Busy lifestyles and growing families can take up all our time, so wouldn't it be perfect to have all the space, but not all the work that can go with it? This much-loved home offers low maintenance living with easy care grounds! Just imagine pulling in at the end of the day to just relax and enjoy home time. Ending the endless kid squabbles as they all get their own full bedrooms, because there are 5 here! Peak rush hour traffic is also sorted, with a separate loo, separate bath and separate shower, and the master suite has its own shower and vanity. This 70's classic has also had the kitchen upgraded, to start the day right, galley style with loads of bench space both sides, and the perfect spot for making coffee in the morning sun, where you can park up at the breakfast bar, or wander through to the generous dining room. Enjoy semi open plan living, with a fireplace and a heat pump, plus ranch sliders to take you out to the patio and the private paved al fresco space, the ideal place for the BBQ and the brazier. The dedicated veggie area is also a breeze, with raised beds…there's a garden shed and the garage is bigger than you might think! This home ticks off all the boxes and then some.

Key Fact

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.
