Description
An exceptional opportunity awaits with this rare lifestyle property - offering not one, but two homes on a picturesque 4-hectare block, perfect for extended family, multi-generational living, or an investment opportunity. The main brick and tile home is low-maintenance and thoughtfully designed with wheelchair
accessibility throughout. Wide hallways, generous bedrooms, and a kitchen tailored for wheelchair use make it as practical as it is comfortable. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area is warm and welcoming, featuring a pellet burner with wetback, heat transfer system, and effortless flow onto a large wrap-around deck overlooking the pool - an ideal spot for entertaining and soaking up the rural views. Four spacious bedrooms include a master with ensuite, complemented by a family bathroom and separate toilet. Energy efficiency has been prioritised with double glazing, full insulation, and solar-ready hot water. Outdoors, enjoy raised vegetable gardens, fruit trees, and lush lawns, all framed by the tranquil countryside. The fully fenced pool area promises summer fun and easy maintenance thanks to its cover. Functional extras abound - a double internal-access garage, carport, two water tanks, and a massive three-bay shed (one set up as a butchery, plus tractor and workshop bays). There's also a dog kennel, chicken coop, little wool shed, and a picturesque pond that completes this idyllic rural setting. Adding incredible value is the second home, privately positioned with its own driveway. This spacious five-bedroom dwelling
features open-plan living, dining, and kitchen, a family bathroom, and a separate lounge - ideal for extended family or as a rental income stream.

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.
