Description

Prime Family Home in The Landing, One Tree Point - Where Every Day Feels Like the Good Life Imagine your mornings starting right here: sunlight streaming in, coffee in hand on the expansive Garapa hardwood deck, the sea breeze drifting over your 555m² section while the kids dash across the road to the playground. No rush-hour traffic, no stress-just the gentle rhythm of coastal Northland life on beautifully flat terrain that's perfect for effortless family mobility. This 174m² home is built for the way families actually live today. Three generous bedrooms, including a master with private ensuite, plus a dedicated office that makes working from home feel effortless and inspiring. Log on, get the day's work done, while watching the kids through the windows and then step outside-because everything you love is already close, and the area's super-flat streets make it a breeze to get there on e-bikes or scooters. Weekends become effortless escapes: Hop on e-bikes or scooters and zip along the flat, family-friendly paths to the local fish & chip shop or café for a lazy brunch. Cruise to swimming access or the beach with the family in minutes-no hills to slow you down. Drop the kids at daycare or school on foot (or wheels), then reclaim your time for barbecues on the sun-drenched deck, games in the yard, or simply soaking up the relaxed community vibe. With two bathrooms (one ensuite), plenty of space for growing families or guests, and a

location that puts the playground right across the road, plus school, daycare, café, and swimming all within easy walking (or rolling) distance-this isn't just a house. It's your ticket to mornings without alarms, weekends without plans, and a work-from-home setup that actually lets you enjoy the good life. The Landing, One Tree Point: Move in, breathe deep, and start living the way you've always wanted-flat, fun, and full of coastal family bliss, ready for you today.

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.
