Description

In a part of Berryfields where homes can start to feel the same, this one genuinely stands apart. Built by Stonewood Homes just four years ago, it’s packed with quality, style, and smart design, and with the remainder of the 10-Year Master Build Guarantee, it also gives peace of mind. Step inside and feel the space. High-stud ceilings and abundant natural light fill the open plan kitchen, dining, and living, centred around a large breakfast bar with sleek stone bench tops, the true hub of the home. Two separate living areas offer flexibility for families, entertaining, or simply relaxing in comfort. Seamless indoor-outdoor flow through corner stacking doors leads to private kwila decking and a striking, well landscaped section, where easy-care, sun-soaked gardens create an inviting backdrop for summer gatherings or quiet mornings with a coffee. The master suite is a true retreat, with direct deck access, a tiled ensuite, and oversized walk-in wardrobe. Two further bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom and separate toilet. Practicality is covered with a double internal-access garage, attic storage, walk-in cupboard, and instant gas hot water. And then there’s the lifestyle. You’re an easy walk to local favourites like Sprig & Fern Meadows, Alioke Eatery and Joe's Garage, or a night out at Silky Otter Cinema, with Richmond CBD just minutes’ walk away. In a neighbourhood full of options, this is one of the few that delivers on both feel and function. Act now and take the time to see it for yourself!

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.
