Description
Evoking a quiet country feel on the cusp of the city and flaunting an outstanding scenic vista, you will fall in love with this lifestyle property nestled on over 1 1/2 acres. Situated less than 5km's from the central city; fabulously close yet when you are here you feel like you are a million miles away, in your own private world. Built on one level in low maintenance brick, the home includes three double bedrooms, the largest of which offers walk-in robe and ensuite along with afternoon sun, stunning views and an indoor - outdoor flow to the paved patio. There is also a fourth single-size room; ideal as an office, hobbies room or extra bedroom as well as full bathroom and a walk-in hot water cupboard you will adore! A stylish kitchen sits adjacent to the dining space which opens out to the generous shaded entertaining area showcasing widespread views and two sitting areas provide versatile living options. With a stunning outlook at every turn, you will truly feel any stress melt away. Breathtaking in its natural beauty, a backdrop of untamed bush affords privacy whilst landscaped grounds have been thoughtfully crafted for minimal maintenance though there is still plenty the keen gardener can add!. The lawn area offers the perfect playground for the kids to kick a ball or setup the trampoline - you could even have some chooks! Acacia Park Estate is a premier, gated lifestyle community comprising approximately 50 executive, modern homes on large, semi-rural sections. Combining security and lifestyle living with a city-close location, the park is a rare find in Whangarei. Having lived in and loved this property for the past 18 years, my vendor is embarking on a new chapter, so here is your chance - visit Acacia Park with me today or come to the scheduled open homes on a Sunday where seeing truly is believing - don't just live the good life - live your best life!

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.
