Our sellers are resizing and need this home sold in order to move forward. Come and make an offer! Wake up to sweeping harbour views stretching across to Mount Maunganui. It is a stunning outlook that instantly elevates everyday living.

Whether it is summer barbecues with friends or relaxing while the kids play, this is a home designed for easy family living. Generous in scale and thoughtfully laid out, the home offers multiple living zones giving everyone space to spread out and unwind. Recent upgrades including a fireplace, new chimney and quality underlay add warmth and comfort through the cooler months.

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.
