Description

The vendors are motivated, realistic, and ready to move on — and they’re keen to see genuine offers on this sunny, spacious Kerikeri home. Set on a fully fenced 789m² (more or less) section, this well-proportioned 170m² home offers space, comfort, and flexibility for modern family living. The light-filled open-plan living and dining area flows seamlessly through bi-fold doors to a generous wrap-around deck — ideal for entertaining, summer BBQs, or unwinding in the sun. The modern kitchen is practical and well laid out for everyday living, while a heat pump ensures year-round comfort. Double-glazed windows in the main house add warmth and energy efficiency. Three bedrooms sit within the main home — two doubles and a single — with a fourth double room located off the back of the garage. This versatile space works perfectly as a guest room, teen retreat, home office, or hobby room. A double garage completes the picture. The bathroom includes a shower over bath, vanity, and toilet, and the property is serviced by a BioCycle sewerage system. Located just 4km from Kerikeri township and zoned for Kerikeri School, this property offers the best of both worlds — peaceful and private, yet close to town amenities. Families will appreciate the front playground area, established fruit trees, and the generous outdoor space on offer. Whether you’re stepping onto the property ladder, upsizing for family life, or adding to your investment portfolio, this is a property that deserves your attention. The vendors are ready — bring us your best. Call me now to book your viewing in!

Key Fact

NZ has strict biosecurity laws — importing food, plants, or outdoor gear can result in heavy fines. The work-life balance is exceptional, but the job market is small and remote from everywhere.

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.
