Description

An exceptional residence, proudly positioned in the exclusive La Pointe Estate at One Tree Point — where refined design meets the relaxed rhythm of coastal life. Set within this tightly held seaside community, the architecturally designed home offers three beautifully appointed bedrooms with the option of a fourth bedroom with ensuite, three bathrooms, two generous living areas, and a highly sought-after triple car garage, delivering space, style, and functionality in equal measure. Clean architectural lines are softened by warm textures and natural light, creating interiors that feel calm, contemporary, and undeniably inviting. At the heart of the home, expansive open-plan living space is perfect for relaxed family living, hosting guests, or enjoying quiet evenings in. Large glazing enhances the seamless indoor-outdoor connection, capturing sunshine, harbour air, and the laid-back coastal atmosphere One Tree Point is renowned for. Each bedroom is a private retreat, complemented by three bathrooms that offer a sense of everyday indulgence. Whether accommodating family or visitors, the home has been thoughtfully designed to provide comfort, separation, and flexibility. The triple car garage is a standout feature, ideal for car enthusiasts, beach toys, a workshop, or additional storage with the added bonus of loft storage — a rare and valuable asset in a coastal

location like this. Positioned just moments from the One Tree Point Marina, pristine beaches, coastal walkways, and local cafés, this home places outdoor lifestyle front and centre. Spend mornings on the water, afternoons on the golf course, and evenings watching the sky change as the sun sets over the harbour. Architectural, elegant, and superbly located, this La Pointe residence offers a rare opportunity to secure a premium coastal home in one of Northland’s most desirable communities. Call Mike Barrett or Corinne Haile to find out more.

Key Fact

NZ has strict biosecurity laws — importing food, plants, or outdoor gear can result in heavy fines. The work-life balance is exceptional, but the job market is small and remote from everywhere.

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.

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.

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.
