Description

The list is long for 28 Aongatete Road, it really is a home and section that has it all! A four-bedroom, two-bathroom brick home with a double internal access garage. Plenty of storage, recessed lighting and tiled service areas. One of the key

features of the home is the large fully enclosed "outdoor" living areas, positioned at the front of the home with exterior doors and wall to wall windows leading out onto a sheltered deck area. This will become your favourite spot to relax with a cup of coffee in the morning soaking in the uninterrupted views over Aongatete River right out to the Tauranga Harbour and Matakana. Or star gazing at nighttime, the sunsets are spectacular! As you enter the property on the left you have the shed of all SHEDS! A 200m2 workshop/shed, steel frame, Coloursteel exterior, Clearlite roof, approx. 3m stud, power connected and two roller doors to enter. Big enough for a hoist, multiple cars and a boat! On the lower level of the property is another workshop approx. 68m2, steel frame, Coloursteel exterior and roof with roller doors at either end providing drive through access. Plus shipping containers and a carport for extra storage/workshop space. The driveway is set up to run right through the property with a second exit at the Aongatete road boundary making it ideal for trucks and other large vehicles. The paddocks provide you with multiple income opportunities. The grass grows very well and has had great success baling hay. In the past the vendors have also raised Angus Cattle that have produced excelled beasts. Wander down to your own private jetty to feed the ducks and swans or spend the afternoon kayaking, fishing or simply caring for the many fruit trees planted thought the landscaped gardens. With no shortage of wildlife, native birds, stunning views, workshops to work on all your projects -you quite literally won't want to leave home! Come take a look for yourself, contact Loren for more information and organise your time to view.

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.
