Description

Conveniently located on Peria Road and set on a generous 6,200 m² section, this four bedroom home offers a peaceful retreat from neighbors and noise. The property includes a charming separate cabin and provides an exceptional sense of space and privacy, all while being surrounded by birdsong, sunshine, and tranquility. The outlook is green in every direction, creating an environment where the pace naturally slows. It is a place where you can truly feel a shift in atmosphere the moment you arrive home. Upstairs, the home is warm and expressive, featuring pitched timber ceilings, a wood burner in the living room, and windows that keep the landscape in view. The 130m² layout includes a generous eat-in kitchen and dining area designed for long breakfasts and everyday conversation. The kitchen has a gas hob & oven, dishwasher, pantry, plus open cupboards. The oven is 2 years new and the hot water cylinder was installed 3 years ago. Additionally, the covered deck and balcony provide perfect spaces to step out and reset. Three bedrooms sit on the upper level, giving the home flexibility whether you need extra rooms for family, guests or work-from-home overflow. The bathroom is positioned downstairs alongside another space for a 4th bedroom, hobbies room, utilities room for projects or extra storage. Outside is where this property really shifts the conversation. The long gravel drive, established planting, mature native trees, open lawn, pockets of bush, meandering creek and grazing land create a setting that feels tucked away and genuinely usable, as well as decorative. All in all, a very sunny family home with creek boundary, chook house and woodshed. Just 20 minutes commute to Kaitaia in the Far North, this is a property for someone wanting a stronger connection to land, privacy and a more self-directed way of living, while still being within reach of town.

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.

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.

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.
