Description

Located within a few minutes drive to Taipa Beach off a well-established neighbourhood this spacious 3+ bedroom / 2 bathroom home (210 sqm floor area) enjoys a relaxed and tranquil setting with wide garden and rural views. The home is set amongst 4823 sqm of landscaped grounds with an extra-large internal access double garage and an additional bay for an impressive home workshop. Surrounding grounds are mostly fenced, very private, and have a park-like feel with manicured lawns and an impressive array of well-established trees and boundary plantings. This solidly built brick home is configured with main living areas and the first two bedrooms opening to the north and enjoying the best of the superb views. Views from these spaces take in surrounding gardens and gently rolling farmland with a nicely framed wedge of Doubtless Bay in the distance. Main living is open plan, light, and spacious, with multiple doors opening to a large wrap-around covered patio. This patio space is wonderfully private and sheltered, great for entertaining outdoors or relaxing with a glass of wine or a good book. The master bedroom at the north-western end

features an ensuite bathroom, a walk-in-wardrobe, air conditioning, sliding door access to surrounding gardens, and lovely views. All of the bedrooms are good sized doubles with inbuilt storage, arranged around the main bathroom and a separate toilet. Adjacent to the kitchen area there is a nice home office space and a short hallway that leads into the garage. The garage

features a dedicated laundry area, external doors on either side, and the separate bay that accommodates the home workshop space. Extensive paving to the rear of the home provides plenty of extra off street parking space and large water tanks provide security of water supply. An ADDED BONUS is all property owners in the subdivision have a 1/93 share in 19.1140 ha of common land, providing a great opportunity to graze an animal or two.

Next steps for moving to New Zealand

Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.

1

Understand the buying rules

Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.

2

Sort out your visa

Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.

3

Plan your finances

Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.

4

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.

5

Set up healthcare

Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.

6

Run the full checklist

Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
