Description
Palm Beach holds a special place in the heart of Papamoa, prized for its proximity to the beach, cycleways, local schooling and Papamoa Plaza, while offering seamless access to key arterial routes both in and out of the suburb. Known for its generously sized sections and enduring streetscape, properties here are protected by covenants that preserve both space and presence. Positioned proudly on a remarkable 1,013m2 site, this is a rare opportunity to secure a true family home. Lovingly held for more than 10 years, 72 Palm Beach Boulevard has been a cherished home, thoughtfully designed to accommodate a growing family with ease and comfort. Spanning approximately 310m2 across two well-considered levels, the home immediately impresses with its wide and welcoming entrance, setting the tone for the space and flow that follow. The main living areas are intelligently positioned at the rear of the home, capturing abundant natural light from morning through to late afternoon. A modern, renovated kitchen and dining space forms the social heart of the home, enhanced by overhead skylights that flood the area with light year-round. Large sliding doors create a seamless indoor-outdoor connection, opening to expansive, sun-soaked lawns, a space easily capable of accommodating a pool, yet equally perfect for relaxed family living. A generous separate lounge provides an ideal retreat, whether for quiet evenings or as a dedicated space for children and teenagers. The ground floor offers exceptional flexibility, featuring two large bedrooms with direct outdoor access, a well-positioned home office (currently utilised as a fourth bedroom), alongside an oversized double garage, separate laundry and outstanding storage throughout, a feature that truly sets this home apart. Upstairs, the master suite delivers a private sanctuary. Oversized in scale, it boasts a generous walk-in wardrobe, well-appointed ensuite and an expansive deck that captures elevated views across the Papamoa hills, the perfect setting to enjoy stunning sunsets and the final glow of the day. Constructed of enduring brick and tile with complementary timber detailing, this home offers both substance and style, a timeless residence designed for long-term family living. A rare opportunity in one of Papamoa’s most tightly held locations. Contact me today to arrange your viewing.

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.
