Description
With everything you could wish for in a lifestyle property, this exceptional offering combines family living, business potential, and an incredible location. The home is warm, inviting, and light-filled, featuring three generous bedrooms, an office or fourth bedroom, two bathrooms including an ensuite, two lounges, and a double integral garage all centred around an open-plan design that flows seamlessly to the outdoors. Surrounded by established trees and beautifully landscaped gardens, the property enjoys a park-like setting that creates both privacy and serenity. For those needing space to work or store equipment, the shedding is outstanding - high quality, secure, three-phase power, mezzanine floor, and complemented by fully fenced grounds and a large gravel turning bay. It’s perfectly suited for a contractor, small business owner, or anyone needing serious storage solutions. Set on flat, well-subdivided land, the property is ideal for cropping, grazing, or horses, with the added advantage of bore water. It’s a landholding that not only supports lifestyle living but can also generate income. And all this comes with superb convenience - just 10 minutes to Hastings or Havelock North, 15 minutes to Taradale, and within easy reach of exceptional wineries and golf courses. 123 Stock Road truly offers the complete package: a large home, impressive shedding, versatile flat land, and a prime
location close to everything.

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.
