Description

Positioned front and centre on the golf course, this substantial four-bedroom home enjoys an enviable north-facing aspect, sweeping fairway views and a captivating outlook to the sea beyond. Sun-soaked, elevated and private, the setting is the undeniable star of the show. Designed to maximise light and landscape, the spacious living areas open toward the views over the golf course, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors and an ever-changing scenic backdrop. Evenings are peaceful and calming, with uninterrupted views and a sense of space that is increasingly rare. Extensively improved and thoughtfully upgraded, this is a home where significant investment has already been made. A raft of upgrades and renovations have been made delivering modern, refreshed spaces that add real value. The main showstopper is the gorgeously renovated kitchen, a dream for cooking and entertaining. Both bathrooms have been renovated and add to this new window treatments throughout and complete lighting replacement and the interior of the house is dramatically enhanced. Practical installation of air conditioning upstairs and down ensures comfort all year round. Improvements continue outside: freshly painted house exterior, new metal fencing and gates, upgraded wooden steps providing improved access to the golf course and terrace , and a handy woodshed that could easily convert to a storage shed. The large section has off street parking for your boat, camper or caravan plus a large basement area with a work bench that could be utilised for a variety of purposes including workshop or storage. Large, warm, dry and beautifully positioned, this is a property where the hard work has been done — yet there remains scope to further enhance and add value over time. Reluctantly offered due to work relocation, the owners are committed to their next move so this property will be sold. Opportunities to secure a prime north-facing golf course position like this are rare — act quickly to make it yours and enjoy the lifestyle, sun and views for years to come.

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.
