Description

Take advantage of this exciting opportunity to secure a property in one of the Hill’s most sought-after locations. Nestled amongst high value homes, sits this private split-level three-bedroom family home ready for renewal. Having been originally designed by recognised architectural firm Natusch & Sons in the 1950s, with further additions by architect Graham Weaver in the 1990s, the property enjoys picturesque views across the Ahuriri estuary and out to the Kaweka ranges. Step through the front gate to discover landscaped gardens, providing a private oasis for relaxation. Convenient covered access from the double garage leads to the entry foyer and into the heart of the home. Cleverly designed, the layout provides a light-filled family room and functional kitchen, offering ample cabinet space with a breakfast bar for casual dining and entertaining. The combined formal dining and living space

features a raked ceiling and gas fire. Bi-fold doors seamlessly merge indoor outdoor flow to the deck, capturing beautifully framed views out through native trees towards the estuary and hills beyond. On the upper level, the spacious master suite with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite,

features French doors opening to its own balcony capturing stunning views. The two additional double bedrooms are located in their own wing of the house and are generously sized sharing a well-appointed bathroom, providing plenty of space for family and guests. Use your imagination and reinvent the rustic garden shed into a studio, private retreat, or workspace. Our vendor has moved on and is serious

about selling – rateable value is to be disregarded. Providing scope to add value, don’t miss your chance to secure, contact us now to arrange your viewing.

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.
