Description
Wake up to the sounds of waves on the shoreline and end each day with a Far North sunset. 5A Seaview Road is a perfectly positioned home in Cable Bay where you’re encouraged to embrace the relaxed coastal lifestyle that makes Doubtless Bay so sought after. With the beach less than a five minute stroll away, your mornings can begin with a swim, a coffee on the sand, or a walk along the golden shoreline. Set privately in a quiet cul de sac, the home enjoys views across Cable Bay to Karikari Peninsula, sheltered within a peaceful backdrop of native bush. Sunlight pours across the wrap around deck from morning through to sunset, creating an effortless indoor–outdoor flow and extending your living room footprint for entertaining or simply unwinding in your own coastal sanctuary. Designed for easy living, this is a home where your days are spent enjoying the best of the Far North — fishing, boating, beach hopping, or hosting family who will love having their own space to stay. With Mill Bay and Taipa boat ramps only minutes away, spontaneous days on the water become part of everyday life. The generous four bedroom, two-bathroom layout offers flexibility for families, guests, or working from home, while the low maintenance grounds, vegetable beds, and fully fenced section keep life simple. Two internal access garages, separate workshop space and dedicated boat or caravan parking make this property ideal for those who want both the lifestyle and practicality. Here, you’re perfectly poised to enjoy the warmth, climate, and coastal charm that draw people to the Far North — a place where life slows down, the sea is always close, and every day feels like a holiday. Get in touch today to arrange a viewing and secure your new home in the beautiful Doubtless Bay. Contact: Natalie Dorn, One Agency Far North Mobile: 021 343 277 Email: nataliedorn@oneagency.net.nz

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.
