Blocked from buying luxury New Zealand property?

Most premium lakeside, coastal, and rural lifestyle properties are classified as "sensitive land" under the Overseas Investment Act.

Even Australians and Singaporeans cannot buy them directly.

For overseas persons to participate in these properties, the ownership structure needs to be aligned with the purpose and requirements of New Zealand's Overseas Investment Act.

Rangi Aotearoa's structured lodge-based ownership model is designed to support that alignment while delivering benefits to New Zealand through premium boutique accommodation and tourism outcomes.

Take this free 3-minute assessment to understand whether a structured OIO consent pathway may be available to you.
