Description

A fantastic opportunity to secure this family home located in the very popular, George Point Road. Built of low-maintenance materials, the thoughtfully considered split-level design offers two separate living areas ensuring peace and privacy for Mum and Dad whilst the kids, whether young or teenage, have their own space to make some noise and dare I say it…mess? Sit in the morning sun and enjoy breakfast on the deck or in the adjacent dining area. The gorgeous designer kitchen is appointed with modern conveniences including dishwasher, two under-bench ovens, gas hob, wonderful pantry storage and breakfast bar while enjoying an outlook to the rear garden and bush beyond. The living space opens to a north-facing outdoor area which, constructed originally as a carport, is cleverly being utilised as a private, sheltered outdoor entertaining area. Both the wood-fire and heat-pump / air-conditioner are centrally positioned so that all rooms in the home benefit. On this level, there is a full luxury bathroom, two double bedrooms (the master with ensuite bathroom) as well as an office (or hobbies room.) Stepping up, a second spacious living area offers a good storage cupboard, two more light-filled double bedrooms with one even flaunting a glimpse of the harbour! Much love and consideration has gone into the renovations of the home, though there are still a few minor cosmetic enhancements that can be completed. The garage offers internal access, excellent storage plus a separate workshop/man-cave boasting concrete floor and good lighting. There is plenty of off-street parking, a greenhouse for the budding gardener in the family, a chook pen, some fruit trees and bush in the backyard for the kids to explore. Handy to Onerahi shopping centre, schools, walks, beach and bus route and a short easy drive in to the CBD, this property is the perfect package offering something for everyone!

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.

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.

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.

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.
