Peaceful, Private with Prestigious Water Views! Take the time to view this amazing property with breathtaking water views. Experience breathtaking water views at 62 Causeway Road, Haruru, where the tidal movement over the Waitangi River provides a constantly shifting and captivating landscape. The property's sweeping concrete driveway is framed by lush, established trees and gardens, leading you onto almost half an acre of land with possibilities for expansion, whether you envision a tiny home, additional parking, or preserving the serene open space. The home itself welcomes you with a stairway leading to a nor- west facing deck and into the bright living area, seamlessly connected to a dining space and a lovely, refurbished kitchen, designed with ample storage and a cozy dining area. For year-round comfort, a heat pump is in place, and the option to install a fireplace remains, as the original hearth is still intact.

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.
