Description

Our Vendors have purchased elsewhere, and this much-loved home needs to go! Tucked away in a peaceful cul-de-sac, 19B Peacock Gardens offers the perfect balance of comfortable modern living, in a perfect

location within walking distance of the CBD, yet far enough away for peace and quiet. This brick and tile, three bedroom, two bathroom home

features beautifully kept gardens and a layout designed for easy living. Inside, you’ll find a light-filled open-plan living and kitchen space that flows effortlessly through to a private, sunny outdoor deck area - with drop-down blinds for shelter and privacy - ideal for BBQing, relaxing or entertaining. Beyond the lounge, there is a tiled bathroom and three double bedrooms - including the Master with its own ensuite bathroom and French doors that open onto its own private, north-facing deck. This home is so well-designed - everything is in perfect proportion - and with DVS and plenty of sun, it is perfect for all seasons. Heading outside, the low-maintenance gardens are private and established, providing a lovely green outlook without the upkeep. There are a variety of fruit trees - including citrus and a thriving young avocado - with several cute pathways throughout the gardens adding character and intrigue. Everything is thought of here - there is parking for three cars - including a single garage with internal access and a covered carport - as well as an impressive covered space for a campervan or boat - making this home practical for families, retirees, travellers and boaties alike. There is even a near-new container - perfect for extra storage, a garden shed, hobbies or a mancave! You will love it here - 19B Peacock Gardens is so close to the village, quality schools and the historic Stone Store precinct - offering all the benefits of central living with a peaceful, tucked-away feel. And with super motivated Vendors, time is of the essence! Contact us today to view this tidy, sunny, well-located gem.

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.
