Description
Step into life at 19 Saint Hill Lane, where space, sunshine and genuine versatility come together in a setting designed for real living. Set back from the street, this smartly configured property includes a three-bedroom, one-bathroom main home plus a fully self-contained one-bedroom, one-bathroom granny flat which is an ideal arrangement for families, extended living or anyone wanting extra flexibility. It’s the kind of setup that grows and adapts as your needs change. Inside the main dwelling, the home feels light, comfortable and practical. The modern kitchen is well positioned, connecting naturally with the living and dining zone to form a central hub for everyday life. From here, doors open straight out to the covered patio — a sunny spot for entertaining, relaxing with a morning coffee or keeping an eye on the kids. The three bedrooms in the main home are all doubles, while the bathroom and separate toilet support easy day-to-day living. Separate from the main dwelling, the self-contained granny flat adds exceptional appeal. With its own bedroom, bathroom, living space and private deck, it’s a standout option for extended family, teens wanting independence, those working from home or buyers exploring additional income potential, all without impacting the functionality of the main home. Outdoors, the in-ground pool sets the scene for long Hawke’s Bay summers. The surrounding decking and shade sails create a relaxed entertaining area, while the generous section offers room to move and potential to enhance further if desired. Off-street parking completes the picture. Positioned on a substantial landholding and now vacant, this is a rare combination of a manageable main home, excellent outdoor living and true multi-use accommodation. Move in, rent out, or secure it as a flexible long-term investment — the options are wide open. Well located and close to everyday amenities, 19 Saint Hill Lane delivers the space, practicality and adaptability that so many buyers are searching for. Call Drew Chatterton today on 022 305 5110 for your private inspection.

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.
