Description
From first impressions, it’s clear this character home offers something truly special—an impressive renovation paired with a layout designed for flexibility and ease of living. At 107 Bellevue Road, you’ll discover a beautifully refreshed three-bedroom residence upstairs, complemented by a substantial garage and workshop space below—an inviting combination that sparks ideas for how you can make the property your own. Step inside and the living room immediately draws your attention. Filled with natural light from wraparound corner windows, the space feels warm and welcoming, with timber floors underfoot, a heat pump for comfort, and an original, untouched, decorative fireplace that anchors the room through the cooler months. From here, the natural flow into the dining area and into the well-planned, spacious kitchen with modern appliances feels seamless, creating a space where everyday living is both practical and enjoyable. Three well-proportioned bedrooms are positioned off the hallway, each offering good natural light and comfortable living. The layout is thoughtfully designed, featuring a family bathroom, separate toilet, and a dedicated laundry—practical details that make a real difference to the rhythm of daily life. Downstairs is where the home truly shifts gear. The large tandem basement garage has room for two small cars and offers excellent workshop potential including a built-in pit—ideal for those who enjoy working on vehicles or hands-on projects. Outside, the fenced section provides a secure and usable garden space for children and pets, or options to simply unwinding on the deck in the sun. Centrally located in Brookfield, you’re well positioned for easy access into Tauranga city, with supermarkets, local shops, parks, popular schools and everyday essentials all within easy reach. Rachel and Nigel would love to show you through at the next open home or arrange a private viewing. Call today to experience it for yourself.

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.
