Description
Set in a handy no exit street, this solid 1960s home offers flexible living in a sought after Kamo location. With a
floor area of approximately 165sqm, there’s a practical layout with room for families to spread out. Upstairs you’ll find three bedrooms and a well positioned family bathroom, including a master with semi ensuite access and its own balcony. The sun filled lounge is kept cosy with a log fire through the cooler months, while the kitchen and dining connect easily for relaxed family living. The dining area opens onto a generous covered deck overlooking the backyard - a great spot for hosting family and friends, weekend barbecues, or simply enjoying the sun. Downstairs adds extra flexibility with a rumpus room and second bathroom, ideal for guests, teenagers or working from home. Internal access garaging with workshop space and excellent off street parking provide room for the boat or camper. Situated on an 830sqm (more or less) freehold section, with established gardens and a few fruit trees, there’s plenty of space for kids, pets or the keen gardener. Just over 1km from Kamo Village and handy to schools and everyday amenities, the home is Healthy Homes compliant, offering peace of mind whether you’re moving in or investing. Our out of town vendors are motivated, and immediate possession is available.

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.
