Description
From sunrise to sunset with every moment framed by breathtaking water and rural views; 73 Coal Hill Road, Mangawhai is set on 4,235sqm (approx) of landscaped perfection. This north facing, single level home embodies contemporary living; where design, light, and nature exist in perfect harmony. Every space invites connection, with full height glass framing, breathtaking views and a seamless transition from interior luxury to outdoor living. Inside, the atmosphere is one of quiet sophistication. The open-plan living area flows with ease - spacious yet intimate, ideal for gatherings or peaceful moments. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring sleek stone benchtops and a double wall oven that makes entertaining effortless. A media room provides retreat, while four double bedrooms offer space and serenity for family and guests alike. The master suite is a true sanctuary: generous in proportion, beautifully appointed with walk-in and ensuite , and opening directly to the outdoors. Two elegant, fully tiled bathrooms add a touch of indulgence, balancing contemporary design with understated warmth. Outdoors, the experience continues - a place to linger and dwell. The partially covered entertaining area and gazebo invite alfresco dining beneath coastal skies, while the sweeping lawns tempt summer games or tranquil afternoons in the sun. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered: a separate shed and double garage for practicality, landscaped gardens that offer privacy and calm, and a layout that celebrates both family life and individual retreat. Just a short drive from Mangawhai Village - with its cafés, markets, and essential amenities, and close to Tara Iti Golf Course, Forestry, and Eastern beaches, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds: coastal energy and rural serenity. Air. Water. Light. Life. Call Helen Powell to view. Viewing by appointment only.

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.
