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.
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.
