Description
Elevated above the road and enjoying a lovely outlook toward the Port and the sea, this well-presented home offers comfort, versatility and exciting outdoor potential. The flexible layout allows you to shape the spaces around your lifestyle while enjoying a home that is move-in ready inside. Step through to light, bright interiors where neutral tones create a calm backdrop for your own style. The generous kitchen provides excellent storage and bench space, ideal for keen cooks, and flows easily into the dining area, where warm wooden flooring adds character and a welcoming feel. From here, the living room connects through glass sliding doors, giving you the option of open-plan living or a more separate retreat. A heat pump ensures year-round comfort. Three bedrooms are serviced by a modern bathroom with large-format tiles, and a second toilet adds everyday convenience. A patio links the main home to a sizeable additional room and storage space, perfect for a home office, studio, gym or potential extra bedroom. Outside is where imagination can take over. The backyard needs work, yet offers outstanding scope to create play areas, gardens, or a thriving fruit and vege patch. Garaging, off-street parking and a flourishing lemon tree complete this appealing package. Contact Darrell 0274 937 134 or Riley 027 441 6308 to arrange a viewing today. Further information, including the floorplan, council records, a property information pack, title information, and a S&P Guide can be found on the bestmove website.

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.
