Description
Perfectly placed along one of Mangonui’s most coveted stretches, this single-level home captures everything people love
about life in the Far North: long light, sea air, rich character and an easy flow. With a setting that feels both private and deeply connected to the village, this is a coastal retreat with genuine soul. The home embraces its outlook from the moment you step inside. Wide glazing and full-height sliders draw lushness into the living space. Timber floors, exposed beams and warm wood panelling wrap the interior in character, striking that rare balance between bach charm and year-round comfort. The rustic kitchen continues this theme with stainless gas cooking, timber-lined walls, and a large picture window framing greenery and morning sun. It’s a space designed for slow breakfasts, shared meals and the small rituals that anchor daily life in a coastal village. The expansive deck is the heart of the home. Partly covered for shade and shelter, and partly open to full sun, it becomes an all-season extension of the living area. Three bedrooms are positioned for privacy and outlook, each with its own inviting ambience, with one enjoying direct access to the deck. The bathroom and separate WC retain their retro timber character, tying the home’s aesthetic together. Outside, the property is exceptionally practical. A freestanding garage, large metal shed, carport and abundant off-street parking provide room for the boat, the trailer and visiting family. The site itself is sun-soaked, gently contoured and beautifully planted, offering a serene backdrop without the upkeep of a large lifestyle block. From here, you’re just moments from Mangonui’s historic village, its cafes, galleries and the iconic Mangonui Fish Shop. The waterfront walkway, pohutukawa-lined bays and golden Far North beaches are all on your doorstep, making this home an exceptional base for permanent living or a luxurious holiday escape.

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.
