Description

Confident in its style, this abode has edgy appeal, streamlined single-level ease, and a premium lifestyle to boot. For avid golfers, the Mount Maunganui Golf Club sits so impressively close by that you can keep an eye on the course from the front porch, with immediate access to the fairways just moments from your doorstep. Iconic archways and swaying palms may lead you to believe you're in suburban Los Angeles, but unlike Hollywood, there's far less drama here. Privacy is evident from the onset, and clever positioning removes any roadside bustle, promising a concealed existence from the outside world. The interior welcomes like a comforting squeeze, met with a dash of sophistication. Deceptively spacious, the home boasts three light filled bedrooms, two impressively proportioned bathrooms, an office for those studying or working remotely, and a conservatory nook that offers various options from playroom to reading retreat. An intimate configuration simplifies living within the communal hub, and the seamless connection between each zone encourages interaction. Anchoring this space is the contemporary kitchen, with sleek white cabinetry and modern functionality appealing to domestic chefs and keen entertainers. Proportionate decking extends effortlessly from here and is likely the spot you'll enjoy many alfresco meals, your morning coffee, and summer sundowners with loved ones. Storage is taken care of with a garage, and combined with off-street parking, offers plenty of space for the ski, the Sunday ride and guests. Other perks include walking distance to the beach, popular eateries, and schooling, plus speedy arterial route access. Don't miss the chance to start enjoying the endless holiday in style today.

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.
