Description
Set on a flat 8882sqm section just minutes from Dargaville township, this property offers space, practicality, and endless potential. Fully stock-proof fences with horse rail, it boasts its own driveway, a new 19m round pen, and a paddock for horses or stock. The home is warm and welcoming. Step inside to a bright, spacious kitchen and dining area, complemented by double frosted glass doors that open to a generous lounge with new carpet. There are three double bedrooms plus a large master with access to the covered veranda along the front of the home. The family bathroom is fresh and modern and the second toilet is great with families. An attic the length of the home is excellent for more storage. A carport with rustic touches suits the stained glass windows of the porch, adding points of difference. Added storage comes via a powered container plus a chicken house with two runs. Thoughtfully planted gardens compliment the expansive north-facing lawn, creating a peaceful setting. With a 25,000-litre water tank and plenty of scope to add your own touches, this property is a perfect lifestyle canvas and ready to move into. I love how this property is in the country, but such an easy run to town, great for the families that want rural living, but need to be close to schools and activities as the family grows. With Baylys Beach not far or Kai Iwi Lakes in the other direction it's a great location. This is an opportunity not to be missed. Contact me today to arrange your viewing and make this your place.

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.
