Description

We have motivated Vendors who will sell below CV at $948,000 for this solid brick and block coastal property. The dwelling offers impressive harbour vistas and is conveniently located just a one-minute walk from the beach and local boat ramp, providing effortless access to the water. Situated on a well-established street, the generously sized, fully fenced 2,503sqm section

features tranquil rural views, making it ideal for families with pets seeking outdoor enjoyment. Beyond its current lifestyle appeal, the sheer scale of the land offers a prime land bank opportunity. Already zoned for future redevelopment, the property is perfectly positioned for those looking to capitalize on the region's growth. There is significant scope to explore the full development potential of this substantial coastal footprint. The garden includes mature fruit trees and vegetable patches, offering seasonal produce directly from your backyard. Inside, the warm and inviting open-plan living area extends onto a spacious deck—an excellent setting for summer entertaining, appreciating stunning sunsets, or relaxing in peaceful surroundings while admiring the views of Mt Manaia. Oriented to capture all day sun, this north-facing residence comprises four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a separate toilet, and a dedicated study to accommodate remote work requirements. Additionally, there is a large downstairs rumpus room, suitable as a children’s area, hobby space, additional lounge, or potential bed and breakfast accommodation. A substantial workshop space enhances the property’s appeal, while ample parking easily accommodates campervans, boats, and visiting guests. This home presents an outstanding opportunity for families looking for comfort and versatility, or savvy buyers looking to secure a future-proof asset. Ruakaka Village and all its

amenities are just 10 minutes by car, and the Marsden Point-SH1 junction is less than 15 minutes away.

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.
