Description

Perfectly positioned for relaxed and/or retirement living, this comfortable single-level home offers the ultimate golf-side lifestyle in Omokoroa. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, there’s space for visiting family, creative pursuits, or simply spreading out in comfort. One of the select few properties with direct access onto the golf course - and just 200 metres from the clubhouse - this is a rare chance to secure a wonderful position in a tightly held location. Leave the car at home, stroll to your game and enjoy the community and convenience that make golf course living so sought-after. Elevated and privately tucked away on an exceptionally quiet section, the home’s wrap-around balconies are designed to make the most of the sweeping outlook. Gaze across manicured lawns and established gardens, over rolling green fairways and out to the majestic Kaimai Ranges beyond. The setting feels like your own private park, with glowing sunsets and ever-changing skies providing a spectacular backdrop to everyday life. This is more than a home - it’s a lifestyle defined by leisure, views, and the freedom to enjoy retirement exactly as it should be. Solidly constructed in brick and timber weatherboards and tiled roof, with traditional eaves, the home has been partially modernised and is very liveable as is, while still offering clear potential to add value, space and your own personal touches. Generous living areas flow out to multiple outdoor entertaining zones, making it ideal for relaxed living or hosting family and friends. The main bedroom is complete with walk in wardrobe and en-suite and also access to the balcony and golf course views. The kitchen is well equipped with granite benches, gas hob and double oven. Ceiling fans in all rooms, a heatpump and HRV system means the house is comfortable all year round. The property sits on a rear site with only two homes, ensuring exceptional privacy and a very quiet environment, complemented by two friendly neighbours. There is an impressive amount of outside space and off-street parking, with room for the motorhome and boat. Spacious, private and superbly located in the thriving coastal community of Omokoroa, this is a lifestyle purchase with space, serenity and future potential in equal measure. Opportunities like this are few and far between, call Noel on 027 525 3380 to secure your viewing and golf course relaxed living.

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.

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.

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.
