Description

Tucked away in a quiet and sought-after location, 240D Kerikeri Inlet Road offers an outstanding blend of modern comfort, natural surroundings, and thoughtful design. This solid, low-maintenance three-bedroom, two-bathroom home - just nine years old - is set on just over an acre of land, providing peace, privacy, and room to breathe and play. Built by Bay Builders, and designed with both functionality and style in mind, the home

features high-stud ceilings that enhance the sense of space and light, and soundproof internal walls for added comfort and quiet living. Entering the sun-filled open-plan lounge through the front door, large glass sliders immediately draw your eye to the full-length decking and the bush outlook beyond - creating a stunning natural backdrop. The home itself is warm and welcoming, with open and airy living areas that feature well-appointed finishes throughout. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, and services both indoor and outdoor dining areas perfectly. Heading down the hallway, two spacious double bedrooms are positioned either side of the large main bathroom. There is plenty of storage throughout, including an attic in the double garage, which is accessed via a pull-down ladder - making practical use of space without compromising aesthetics. At the far end is the master bedroom, with a walk-in robe, ensuite bathroom and large double sliding doors that open directly onto the deck. Close to quality schools and river walks, and just 10 minutes to the new Windsor Landing boat ramp and the Bay beyond, you will also enjoy being steps away from Roland's Wood - one of Kerikeri’s most beloved dog parks and walking reserves—yet still close enough to town for all your everyday needs. Whether you’re downsizing, investing, or looking for a private haven, this is a beautifully presented property that delivers on lifestyle, location, and low-maintenance living. Enquire today to make this peaceful retreat your own.

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.
