Description
If space to work, create or store is high on your list, this lifestyle property is a standout. Set on approximately 8,094m² of gently contoured land, the true hero here is the substantial shed — a versatile setup that will instantly appeal to tradies, hobbyists, boat owners or anyone needing serious room. The shed is thoughtfully designed, featuring two separate rooms within the garage area, ideal for storage, a workshop, office space or hobby rooms. From here, the building steps down into an impressively large main shed, offering exceptional scale and flexibility — perfect for machinery, vehicles, projects or large-scale storage rarely found this close to the coast. The home itself is comfortable and well laid out, centred around an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area filled with natural light and framed by peaceful rural outlooks. Three bedrooms branch off the main living space, with one easily adaptable as a home office or studio. The bathroom is practical and positioned for everyday ease. A wraparound deck extends the living outdoors, providing relaxed spaces to enjoy the surrounding greenery and rolling outlooks. Whether it’s a quiet morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day, the setting delivers calm in every direction. Located just minutes from Glinks Gully Beach, this property offers the perfect balance of coastal lifestyle and rural breathing room, while Dargaville is a short drive away, offering shops, sporting facilities, a public pool and everyday amenities. Properties offering this level of shed space, land size and beach proximity are increasingly hard to find. To arrange your viewing, contact Keegan Dalbeth or Jeni Gorrie 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.
