Description

At Multi Listing Real Estate, every property we list is offered to every salesperson, across every agency, on a true 50/50 commission split This beautifully maintained home and income property offers the kind of space and flexibility that perfectly suits extended family living or households wanting to live together while planning for the future. Designed across multiple levels, the layout allows families to live together yet independently, making it ideal for parents, adult children, relatives, or shared family arrangements where privacy and practicality both matter. The main home

features three bedrooms, a recently updated kitchen with gas cooking, generous living spaces, and excellent storage throughout. The lounge is warmed by a heat pump and opens to a north-facing deck with elevated views toward the surrounding hills - a great place to relax or gather with family. Downstairs provides outstanding versatility with a double internal garage, a bedroom, laundry, and extensive storage areas - including large under-house storage with concrete floors and power. This level is ideal for family use, hobbies, or simply keeping everything organised and out of sight. Separately positioned is a self-contained one-bedroom living space with its own kitchen, dining and lounge area, opening onto a sunny deck. This setup is perfect for grandparents, older children, or family members contributing together while saving toward their next home or investment. Both living spaces are well presented, privately arranged, and serviced separately, allowing families to manage shared living with ease. Outside, the north-facing section is well cared for, featuring fruit trees, vegetable gardens, and a lined she-shed, creating a peaceful outdoor space for all generations to enjoy. Located in a popular, family-friendly part of Pyes Pa, close to schools, shops, and transport, this is a smart property for families who value togetherness, independence, and long-term planning. A rare opportunity to secure a home that grows with your family - and your future

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.
