One of the many advantages of having a second home in New Zealand is to take advantage of the opposite seasons. The Northland of New Zealand has its Summer season from November to April. During December and January the sky is light until almost ten o’clock versus five o’clock back in the USA, Europe and Asia.
The clean green pollution free environment is a very refreshing experience to live. The entire country of New Zealand has lush green grass all year long. During Winter it’s usually five to ten degrees colder in the South Island which has the southern alps and excellent sking during June to August.
Strategic tax planners are available to establish legal ways to avoid paying millions of dollars in taxes through being a dual Citizen and living in the USA less than six months a year.
It makes economic sense to establish assets overseas in New Zealand which is very safe and economically affordable. For the past six months the NZ Dollar has been very low, down to US Fourty Cents for one NZ Dollar. And for the past twenty-five years the currency has averaged about US Fifty-Eight to Sixty Cents for one NZ Dollar.
New Zealand is filled with Temperate Rainforest.
Eighty-four percent of New Zealand plants exist only in New Zealand, the reason is New Zealand’s isolation from the rest of the world. The forests range from sub-tropical to temperate, evergreen rainforest and beech forests. Native Trees include Rimu, Totara, Maitai, Kahikatea and many species of ferns including some giant tree ferns.
VOTED THE MOST HONEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.New Zealand is ranked number one as the most honest country in the world, ahead of the United States, ranked number fifteen.
The New Zealand people are very down to Earth. Over seventy-five (75%) are descendants from Britain and they have a proud heritage, unlike Australia which was a penal colony, and whose population generally is not trustworthy in conducting business, etc. as New Zealanders.
New Zealands citizens are extremly friendly and not at all pretenous. You will be invited to many homes, particularly if you are an American as the Kiwis are very much like Americans.
In the late 1990’s, building on his success in the South Pacific William Lyons invested in island real estate off the coast of Australia. His passion for island resorts spurred the creation of a unique luxury property sales and island resort management network called Islands1 (www.Islands1.com). This company specializes in the acquisition of the highest quality properties at excellent prices complete with all the amenities to go with an exotic lifestyle home.
Drawing on the strength of his luxury real estate network William Lyons directed his focus on mansion rentals in international markets and in recent years Las Vegas became the test market for William Lyons’ next success story, Celebrity Mansions for North America.
