Description

This serene country residence nestled on over two hectares of land (option potentially to boundary adjust if you want less land) with stunning views across pasture to the water, established grounds and a private, peaceful aspect is now available for a discerning buyer, one of the last remaining rural/residential properties at the gateway to the Omokoroa peninsula. Designed by the current owners for family and entertaining, the formal entry leads to the dining and living area to soak up the everchanging rural and inlet vistas, and with the benefit of an adjoining study/library and bi-fold doors that open to the garden. The large open plan kitchen/family area has excellent storage and bench space plus, super connection to a sheltered patio, perfect to enjoy long lunches and evening BBQs over the summer months. There is also a good size work room/art studio that flows from the family area, ideal for homework, as a playroom or work from home office. The main bedroom suite has the luxury of being privately set on the upper level with its own sitting room that opens to a balcony, an ensuite, den and excellent storage within the roof space. There is a dedicated guest wing on the ground floor with two bedrooms, a bathroom and central living area that could easily be self-contained with two sets of doors that open to the grounds. As well, a fourth bedroom, a separate laundry, powder room and large internal entry double garage with a good size workshop at the rear. Set within established grounds with majestic ornamental trees, veggie gardens, fruit and nut trees and paddocks to run a few sheep and the chooks. There are also paths that meander through the property, excellent for kids and pets to run free and an inlet where you can potentially launch a kayak, catch a flounder or two, enjoy birdlife, and relish your country estate. Located within commute of the CBD, excellent schools are in the area and the benefit of Omokoroa shops, services, and beach being close by. If you are looking for that special property to landbank and develop in time, this may just be the ideal property for you. Call Angela today to view!

Key Fact

NZ has strict biosecurity laws — importing food, plants, or outdoor gear can result in heavy fines. The work-life balance is exceptional, but the job market is small and remote from everywhere.

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.
