Description

This stunning near-new property, positioned on a sunny 1005m² lot, offers a blend of modern living, privacy, and a superb location. Heading inside, the tone is set with a sense of style and functionality. An open-plan design seamlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas, where sunlight dances through large windows and sliding doors, illuminating the space and framing views of the deck towards the rear. The well-appointed kitchen boasts ample cabinetry, sleek engineered stone countertops, and a Butler's pantry; servicing the living area as well as the alfresco spaces beyond. The three double bedrooms are all light and bright, whilst at the same time providing peaceful retreats for all. At one end, the master offers a sanctuary of relaxation, with a walk-in robe and a tiled ensuite. A large bathroom (and luxurious bath), two double bedrooms, and a second living area complete the plan, along with internal access to the double garage and laundry. There is also a dedicated office space - ideal for working from home. Double glazing, quality carpets and a heat pump provide warmth and comfort, and extra security is assured with security cameras and an alarm system. In addition, the low-maintenance construction makes this an attractive option for investors, downsizers or lock-and-leave buyers. Heading outside, decking invites you to entertain, supervise kids play or simply unwind with a book, with landscaped gardens framing the flat, easy-care section. Positioned securely behind its own electric gate and fully fenced, the home is set up perfectly for young families, pet lovers and those that are security conscious. Situated in a lovely, friendly neighbourhood, this delivers comfort, security, and effortless living close to quality schools, boat ramps, river walks and Kerikeri CBD and is just a short walk from Skudders Beach, with its own tennis court and play park. Modern, practical, and positioned for lifestyle and growth, this is a property that truly ticks all the boxes. Call now to view.

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.
