Description
Viewing By Appointment - Please contact Francee on 021 991 350 Just 25 minutes north to Waipu, 25 minutes east to Mangawhai and around an hour and ten to Albany, 6 Gumtree Way offers the perfect opportunity to move in, relax, and simply watch the world go by. With wide open spaces, stunning views and room for children and pets to explore, this is lifestyle living at its best within the sought-after Hinamoki Estate. The home is light, bright and tastefully finished, set on approximately 3.3865 hectares of gently sloping, prime land ideal for grazing horses or other livestock. A potential pond site is already in place for future development. Positioned alongside native forest, the property enjoys birdsong and peaceful surroundings, with sweeping views across rolling pasture toward the Kaipara Harbour. Inside, the home
features three generous bedrooms, including a master with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, plus a family bathroom and separate toilet. A practical laundry/wet room, butler's pantry, and open-plan kitchen, dining and living area flow seamlessly onto a spacious deck running the length of the home, complete with a shaded entertaining area. Plush carpet with quality underlay adds comfort, while the hard flooring is both stylish and practical for everyday living. The thoughtfully designed driveway is simply landscaped and almost artistic in presentation, leading to the carport and entry through the wet room into the main living spaces. This is a practical, comfortable and welcoming home with plenty of potential to truly make it your own. Located within a relaxed, animal-friendly and secure estate, residents enjoy access to community pavilions, a swimming pool, tennis court and riding facilities, all maintained by an on-site estate manager. Community gatherings are held every couple of months, creating a friendly neighbourhood atmosphere while still respecting privacy. The estate continues to grow and evolve, guided by an open and well-led committee. Open homes are held every Saturday and Sunday from 1.30 - 2.00pm, and the vendor has set a realistic asking price for your consideration. As is my usual practice, I welcome colleagues and agents from all brands to bring their buyers through the open homes. Please contact me prior to attending to arrange a conjunction. Property files are available via the link provided, and I'm happy to assist with private viewings or answer any questions.

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.
