Description
Set on an easy-care 615m² section, this modernised 86m² three-bedroom home is tailor-made for buyers who value simplicity and space. Tucked down a shared driveway, it offers an ultra-convenient lifestyle walking distance from central Mangawhai Village—a premium
location without the premium price tag. Move in with peace of mind. Upon relocation, the owner fully refurbished the roof, replacing tiles and applying a brand-new coating to ensure it is weather-tight and ready to go. Inside is beautifully transformed. The upgraded open-plan kitchen flows into the living zone, where pitched ceilings, fresh carpet, and stylish vinyl plank flooring enhance the coastal character. Enjoy a new Thermann continuous flow gas water heater for instant hot showers. Three bedrooms offer quiet comfort, supported by a sleek modernised bathroom and a heat pump for year-round climate control. Step out to a massive 46m² brand-new timber deck—perfect for summer entertaining. The rear lawn is fully fenced, while the open front allows easy access to the gravel driveway and off-street parking. Dual 25,000L water tanks provide ultimate self-sufficiency, acting as your household supply, firefighting reserve, and stormwater management. The property requires minor upgrades to sections of the external cladding. To remove any guesswork, the owner commissioned an independent Registered Valuation. The Valuer assessed the property in its current condition—fully factoring in these minor exterior works—and concluded a market value of exactly $800,000. This means the numbers are independently verified. You are getting a brilliant deal to secure a modernised home in the heart of Mangawhai today! Weekend markets, surf beaches, and coastal walkways are all within easy reach. If 59B Moir Street sounds like your kind of home, contact Megan Hetges to view today.

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.
