Description

Due to the weather forecast for Sunday, the open home is on Saturday, 2:30 - 3:0pm! Elevated, sunny, and wonderfully private, this classic three-bedroom Kiwi home offers the kind of setting people look for but rarely find. Positioned to capture sweeping views and all-day sun, the home feels calm, sheltered, and quietly special. The generous living area opens onto a large deck, creating an effortless place to relax, entertain, or simply take in the outlook. What you’ll appreciate: Three bedrooms with comfortable proportions Expansive sunny deck designed for outdoor living Stunning views across the inlet and surrounding hills A peaceful, private setting that feels like a true sanctuary Single garage and practical everyday functionality Set in a private, sun-filled position in popular Camborne, this home also offers exceptional convenience. The train station, Mana shops, cafés, waterfront walks, and the Pāuatahanui Inlet walkway are all within easy reach, while Plimmerton School and the local kindergarten are close by for families. With the vendor on the move, this could be your opportunity to make this home your own. Homes with this level of privacy, sun, and outlook are tightly held for good reason. It’s easy to arrive here, and hard to leave. Call Ralph Kindl 022 597 0397 to arrange your private viewing or for more information.

Living in Wellington

New Zealand's compact capital, dubbed 'the coolest little capital in the world' by Lonely Planet, with a vibrant arts and cafe culture that punches well above its weight. The CBD is fully walkable and public transit usage is the highest in NZ, but prepare for relentless wind -- it's literally the windiest city in the world. Locals are genuinely friendly and the expat community integrates easily, though the cost of living is high for its size.

Morning surf before work, weekends tramping through Lord-of-the-Rings landscapes, and a laid-back culture where shoes are optional and nature is never more than ten minutes away.

Visa

Skilled Migrant Category Resident Visa — points-based system requiring a skilled job offer in NZ. New pathways opening August 2026 for trades workers and those with 5+ years experience. Accredited Employer Work Visa is the faster route if you already have a job offer.

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.
