Description
This beautiful lifestyle property sits just minutes from Waikanae, offering the perfect balance of modern comfort and space to breathe. It feels rural and peaceful, yet you are still close to town, schools, cafés and commuter links. Built in 2020, this near-new home delivers modern living with next to no maintenance. You can simply move in, settle, and enjoy approximately 1.21 hectares of lifestyle. At the heart of the home is the light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with a large induction hob, double oven, stone benchtops and excellent storage, making it both practical and impressive for entertaining. A built-in sound system enhances the living spaces, while the ducted heat pump system provides year-round comfort throughout the home. From here, the living flows effortlessly out to the sunny deck, where the outdoor entertaining areas are a real highlight. Whether it is summer barbecues or relaxed evenings in the sun, the layout works beautifully. A separate second lounge adds flexibility for families, giving everyone their own space when needed. The home offers five bedrooms in total. The master suite feels like its own retreat, complete with a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite, and sliding doors opening to a sun-drenched deck. The fifth bedroom is a real bonus, with its own external access, toilet and wardrobe. It is ideal for working from home, extended family, guests, or a teenager wanting a little independence. Practical living is well covered with internal access double garaging, plus an additional freestanding double garage for extra storage, vehicles or hobbies. There is something grounding
about having this kind of space. Whether it is keeping a few chickens, running stock, or simply enjoying the open outlook, it offers a lifestyle that feels calm and balanced. You are not isolated here. The community is friendly and supportive, and people genuinely look out for one another. If you are looking for modern comfort, flexible living and peaceful surroundings with room to grow, all just minutes from Waikanae, this is a property that truly deserves your attention.
Location
Open in Google MapsLiving 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.

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.
