Description

Ignore RV - this property is seriously for sale. Our vendor has moved on and is looking for offers. Nestled in one of Russell’s most coveted locations and elevated to capture sweeping 180-degree sea views, 8 Titore Way is more than a home - it’s a feeling. Golden mornings with coffee on the deck, the scent of salt on the breeze, and long summer evenings under a painted sky - all of it is awaiting here. This three-bedroom, four-bathroom home is spacious, full of light, and brimming with character. High ceilings with exposed beams frame most of the open-plan living, dining and kitchen area - every angle pulling you toward the view that simply cannot be replicated. Step outside to your partially covered deck and entertain against a backdrop that belongs on a postcard. The master suite is a personal haven - complete with access to the spacious main deck to savour sunrise, unwind, and reconnect. There are two further bedrooms upstairs and with four bathrooms throughout, comfort and flexibility are built-in - whether you’re hosting guests, accommodating family, or just enjoying the space to breathe. Practicality meets paradise with an internal double garage below - ideal for vehicles, storage, or even your boat. And with the boat ramp just minutes away, adventure is never far from reach. When it comes to location, this one is simply ideal. Just 1.3km from Russell's historic town centre and close to the crystal-clear waters of Tapeka, Megrickoli, and Long Beach. Here, everything is within easy reach - cafés, restaurants, the tennis club, supermarket, and more. Yet, your peace and privacy remain untouched. This is more than a property. It’s a lifestyle, a legacy, and a story waiting to begin. Make your move. View now.

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.

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.
