Set back from the road for privacy and quiet, with established gardens and plenty of space, this home has an inviting feel from the moment you arrive. Built in 2019 Inside, the living spaces are open and inviting. The lounge captures great light and flows easily into the dining and kitchen area; a spot where everyone naturally comes together.

location offers the best of both worlds, a relaxed rural outlook with Waitara & New Plymouth just a short drive away. Situated on 3362m2 of land with a small paddock at the front of the house. Located just minutes from Waitara and an easy drive into New Plymouth, this Brixton home gives you that country feel without being far from town. It’s vacant and ready for its next owners to move in and add their own touch of flare. Get in touch with Sam or Sarah today to view.

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.

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.

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.
