Description

Positioned in a tightly held pocket of central New Plymouth, just 300 metres from the iconic coastal walkway, is an opportunity to secure one or both contemporary architectural townhouses in an exclusive two-residence development. Designed with longevity in mind and built to an uncompromising standard, these brand-new homes offer the reassurance of quality construction combined with the ease of low-maintenance living. Central heating and cooling, double glazing and lift access ensure comfort,

accessibility and practicality for years to come, making them particularly appealing for those looking to downsize without sacrificing space, independence or lifestyle. Each residence spans approximately 216sqm and has been thoughtfully designed to maximise light, sun and coastal outlooks. Generous glazing captures views toward the sea, while the double-height entrance creates an immediate sense of space and refinement. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas flow seamlessly to two distinct outdoor zones; one ideal for entertaining, the other a more sheltered retreat for quiet afternoons. The kitchen is both elegant and highly functional, complete with a large scullery, wine fridge and quality finishes that speak to the caliber of the build. A home office, powder room, a lift, excellent storage solutions and internal access double garaging complete the ground floor. Upstairs, the master suite enjoys its own private balcony with views stretching toward Port Taranaki and Paritutu Rock. Two additional double rooms share a beautifully appointed bathroom and offer flexible living - use both as bedrooms, or configure one as a guest bedroom and the other as a second lounge or retreat. Positioned together, they create an ideal private wing for visiting family, with balcony access and sea views enhancing the appeal. Number 10A also enjoys mountain views from upstairs. Clad in durable, low-maintenance ABODO timber with professionally landscaped grounds, these homes are suited to those wanting a secure lock-up-and-leave base in the city. From here, daily life is refreshingly simple; morning walks along the waterfront, coffee at your local café, dinner in town, galleries and shopping all within easy reach. A rare chance to future-proof your lifestyle in one of New Plymouth’s most walkable and desirable locations

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.
