Description
Opportunities like this don't come along often. Set within the tightly held and highly sought after Dunes Village, this stylish two bedroom brick home offers an exceptional blend of comfort, convenience, and lifestyle - with motivated vendors ready to see it sold. Designed for effortless, low maintenance living, the home
features a light-filled interior complemented by smart, energy-efficient upgrades. A DVS system keeps the home warm and dry year round, while solar panels help keep power costs low, making everyday living both comfortable and economical. What truly sets this home apart is its private, covered patio that backs directly onto the local park - a premium position enjoyed by only a small number of homes in the village.

Homes with this level of privacy and outlook are rarely available, making this a must see. Practicality is well catered for with internal-access garaging and additional off-street parking for two vehicles - ideal for visitors or family. Step outside and enjoy the best of Papamoa living, with Sands Town Centre just a short walk away for shopping, cafes, and dining, and Papamoa Beach only minutes away.

Whether you're downsizing, investing, or securing a relaxed coastal lifestyle, this home delivers on space, security, and community - where neighbours become friends and lifestyle comes first.

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.
