Description
You will be entranced with the magical views from the deck of your new home! Looking out over Taipa Beach and Estuary, it doesn't get much better than this. A great
location with unobstructed sea views! This quaint 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom property is perched on the hilltop of Bush Point Road. Designed with contemporary living in mind, the light-filled open plan living areas are move-in-ready with a beautiful aesthetic in neutral tones and a double stud for an assured sense of luxury. Heating (and cooling) is well thought through too with a heat pump to ensure daily comfort and cosiness. With natural light in abundance, the spacious kitchen is sure to please with its plentiful bench space in bold black, nicely complemented with crisp white cabinetry, warm wood style flooring, a perfect mix of deep drawers and cupboards, plus modern appliances! Set yourself up at the counter for a chat or slide open the big glass doors out to your large semi-covered deck, enjoy a coffee in the sun, and savour your gorgeous views!! Offering two bedrooms, the large master upstairs accessed via the mezzanine with exposed wood vaulted ceilings in fresh tones. You'll love the fresh family bathroom with a superb glass shower, tile wall feature, a generous stylish bathroom cabinet and bold black accents. A large separate laundry with more storage space completes the package. Nicely landscaped with low maintenance in mind, there’s an added bonus of your own container that stays on site and is ideal for storage, plus the house is connected to both town water and sewage utilities. Perfectly suited to couples, rental investment, down-sizers and holiday makers looking to simplify their lifestyle surrounded by their new friends! Conveniently located close to Taipa’s shops and cafes, and only a stroll to the local beaches and estuary, this elevated modern home is extremely desirable. Contact Lee Dickens for more information

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.
