Description

Tucked away in the exclusive Beachlands Estate, 25 Karoro Road is 1 of only 25 sections offered in this family-friendly community where coastal living and seaviews are the signatures of One Tree Point's most sought-after pockets. Positioned directly across the road from beach access, this elevated, north-west facing home enjoys immediate connection to the shoreline and the Queen's Chain walkway, stretching along the waterfront from Pyle Road West all the way to the Marsden Boat & Yacht Club. With the boat ramp just 500 metres away, days on the water couldn't be easier. Set on a generous 841sqm site, the property enjoys a peaceful, sun-soaked aspect with sea and harbour views from both the living areas and the master bedroom (inside & outside). A tree-lined south-west boundary provides privacy and natural shelter from prevailing winds, creating a calm, protected environment year-round. There's ample off-street parking, space for a pool, and plenty of room for children or guests to play. Built in 2010 under the new building code, the 180sqm home has been thoughtfully designed for effortless living. Inside you'll find three generous double bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms including a master ensuite and a family bathroom with bathtub, and the convenience of an internal access garage. Modern comforts such as a heat pump and a partially fenced section for the family pet complete the picture. Peaceful, light-filled and perfectly positioned, this is the epitome of easy coastal living whether as a permanent residence, a lock-up-and-leave retreat, or the beginning of your new beachside chapter. Your home away from home, or the start of something new, 25 Karoro Road is an opportunity not to be missed. Don't wait, call Ross now to arrange a viewing. Viewing By Appointment or as advertised.

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.

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.
