Description

Dreaming of easy-care country living with serious shedding? Then 672 Henry Road could be the lifestyle property you've been waiting for. Set on a flat 6,135m2 lifestyle section in a sought-after location, this well-presented low-maintenance brick home offers relaxed rural living without the hard work. North-facing with a generous deck, the home enjoys great sun and

features three double bedrooms, a heat pump, and a newly renovated bathroom, making it comfortable and move-in ready. But the real standout here is the shedding. The property

features a recently completed 16m x 8m high-stud four-bay shed/workshop - ideal for the toys, tools, projects, or business needs. Whether you've got boats, motorbikes, vehicles, a camper, or machinery, there's space here for it all, plus a large turning and parking area for easy access. Outside, the property is perfectly set up for lifestyle living. Well-fenced paddocks, a horse stable, and a bore for stock water make it ideal for a pony, a few animals, or simply enjoying the space and freedom of country life.

Location is another major drawcard. Positioned just minutes from the Taupiri Interchange, commuting north or south is easy, while still enjoying the peace of rural living. Quality rural schooling options are also close by. Lifestyle properties with this level of shedding, usable land,

location and price point are rarely available - don't miss the opportunity to make it yours. And yes… the shed really is that good. Call David 021 223 7835 LJ Hooker Ngaruawahia Twin Rivers Real Estate Ltd

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.
