Description

Vendors circumstances have changed. This already well priced home is seriously looking for new owners to appreciate what is on offer here. This beautifully designed 3-bedroom home with an office offers a lifestyle that many only dream of. Situated on an unusually flat section just steps from the water’s edge, this property combines modern living with exceptional water views and easy access to the stunning Bay of Islands. Located in the village-like setting of Rangitane, you are around the corner from the boat ramp, reserve area with tennis courts and play area.

• The home

features a thoughtfully laid-out floor plan with a large lounge area that opens onto expansive deck/patio on both sides—one leading across the garden and straight to the water. These outdoor spaces are perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying the view of the water just steps away.

• As a true waterfront property, it comes with direct access to the water and its own private mooring, making it ideal for boating enthusiasts, kayaking straight from your section or a nice cooling swim in the summer.

• The brand-new kitchen is a highlight of the home, with modern finishings. Spectacular views over the garden and onto the water.

• The flat section is rare for waterfront homes, providing ample space for outdoor activities and a secure area for children to play. A dedicated walkway takes you right to the water's edge, further enhancing the unique appeal of this property.

• Just around the corner from the boat ramp, you’ll have quick access to the Bay of Islands, known for its incredible opportunities for fishing, diving, and boating. This home is an ideal choice for families seeking a peaceful, yet active lifestyle or anyone who appreciates the best that coastal living has to offer.

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.
