Description

If you’ve been dreaming of a bit more space without losing the convenience of town, this modern brick and tile home might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for. With a fresh new price in place, this is your opportunity to secure modern lifestyle living just minutes from Kerikeri. Tucked away in a peaceful rural setting just minutes from Kerikeri, this property offers the best of both worlds — quiet country living with town still an easy drive away. Sitting on a generous 3,887m² (more or less), there’s plenty of room to spread out, enjoy the outdoors, and even explore future development potential (subject to council approval). Inside, the home is designed for easy, modern living. The open plan kitchen, dining, and living area creates a welcoming hub where everyone naturally comes together. Just outside, a sunny deck provides the perfect spot for summer BBQs, morning coffees, or simply soaking up the peaceful surroundings. There’s space for everyone here, with three double bedrooms — perfect for families or guests. The master bedroom

features a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, while the main bathroom includes a practical combined laundry. Comfort hasn’t been overlooked either. The home

features double glazing, ducted air conditioning throughout, which can be controlled straight from your phone, along with gas hot water to keep things running smoothly. Outside, a double carport provides covered parking, and the spacious section offers plenty of room for gardens, pets, or simply enjoying the extra breathing space that rural living provides. The property runs on tank water and a septic system, adding to the relaxed country lifestyle. The property is currently tenanted, so viewings are strictly by appointment only to respect the tenants’ privacy. If you’ve been looking for a modern home with room to move and Kerikeri just down the road, this one is definitely worth a closer look.

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.
