Description
**Open Home Cancelled Due to Cyclone** Embrace the finer things in life in a relaxed beachside setting with this brand-new, architecturally crafted home. Tastefully curated, the 203 sqm (approx.) home delivers a low maintenance lifestyle within this fast-growing community favoured by families, young professionals and mid-life downsizers taking their foot off the proverbial pedal. The double-glazed home with Coloursteel roof combines Abodo and Oblique panel cladding on a bagged brick base for a contemporary 2025 profile. Highly specced
inclusions include brushed gunmetal tapware and towel ladders, on-trend ceramic stone-look counters and handsome laminated timber look floors contrasting with neutral interiors. Positioned on the upper level, the main entertaining zones take advantage of their elevation with outlooks toward the surrounding streetscape. Boasting maximal scale, this residence enjoys an impressive open plan lounge and dining area where high raking ceilings soar overhead. A waterfall island bench is the centrepiece of a sleek designer kitchen with the latest appliances, walk in pantry, and bonus storage. The master bedroom is complemented by a tiled wet-room ensuite and a thoughtfully arranged walk-in wardrobe while nearby, the study nook commandeers the landing space overlooking the stairwell. A powder room provides guest convenience, and a second bathroom downstairs echoes a similarly sleek aesthetic. Remaining bedrooms include one having ranch slider exit to the patio presenting options as use for a family room. Insulated doors keep carpeted garaging warm, while a hideaway stacker laundry is accompanied by copious storage and closet space throughout. The freehold landscaped section provides off-street parking, generous backyard lawns and a versatile patio suited to outdoor dining, with room for a spa pool if you choose. A short walk to New World and minutes from Suzanne Aubert Catholic School and the Karewa beach access, while SH2 is handy to travel to Papamoa’s shopping precinct and beyond.

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.
