I get off the plane and I just feel &#8230; just like the air is different. You just feel like, &#8216;Oh, now I&#8217;m at home,'&#8221; the actress explained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">However, owning a piece of that paradise is, sadly, still out of her reach, she noted. Property in New Zealand is far more expensive than she had realized.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Boxstyles__StyledBox-rui__sc-1p1qqov-0 cGIhfE sc-1d9c28t-0 dVWipe\">\n<figure><figcaption class=\"sc-1d9c28t-3 kUNXdc\"><span class=\"image-caption\">Actress Melanie Lynskey has admitted that her ultimate dream is to own a property in New Zealand\u2014explaining that she still views the country as her true home, despite currently living in L.A. with husband Jason Ritter and their daughter. <\/span><span class=\"sc-1d9c28t-2 nMMWW image-credit\">Karwai Tang\/WireImage<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">&#8220;We have this dream of being able to buy a house in New Zealand. Not quite there yet, it&#8217;s very expensive, as it turns out! And, yeah, can&#8217;t have two houses quite yet,&#8221; she admitted. <\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">Although her finances may stand in the way of her goal, the actress revealed it hasn&#8217;t stopped her from keeping an eye out on the real estate market in the country, just in case.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">&#8220;When I&#8217;m going to sleep, all I do is look at real estate in New Zealand and have a dream of my house when I&#8217;m going off to sleep,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I just love it so much.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">The actress conceded that there is another reason why they cannot make the move overseas just yet: Her daughter is currently enrolled in her &#8220;dream school,&#8221; while her husband&#8217;s family is also all located in California.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">&#8220;Obviously L.A., my husband&#8217;s family is in L.A. and from L.A. Our daughter is at a school, which is our dream school for her. She got in there, and so it does feel like, for a period of time, we&#8217;re going to stay there,&#8221; she said of her child, whose name they have decided to keep private.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">As for the things she misses the most about her home country, Lynskey was quick to point to the food and drink.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">&#8220;I do love [L.A.], but I dream of home all the time. The milk is better, the butter is better, the wine is better,&#8221; she said. &#8220;The bottle of wine you get at the supermarket is going to be a great bottle of wine. Vogel&#8217;s bread, marmite.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">&#8220;It&#8217;s just very simple things. People are always like, &#8216;Oh, do you want a piece of chocolate?&#8217; and I&#8217;m like, &#8216;Oh, what&#8217;s the point.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">Lynskey, who shot to fame after starring in director <strong>Peter Jackson<\/strong>&#8216;s 1994 movie &#8220;Heavenly Creatures&#8221; alongside <strong>Kate Winslet<\/strong>, moved to Los Angeles in 2000, after completing high school in her home country\u2014and spending 18 months at university. <\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">That same year, she landed a role in the hit musical movie &#8220;Coyote Ugly,&#8221; which was filmed primarily in and around <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/realestateandhomes-search\/New-York\">New York<\/a> City. <\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">She purchased her first home in California in 2004 for just $597,500. She sold the adorable Victorian bungalow 13 years later for $950,000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">The sale of that property came four years after she met Ritter on the set of the film &#8220;The Big Ask&#8221; and the same year that the couple got engaged. <\/p>\n<div class=\"Boxstyles__StyledBox-rui__sc-1p1qqov-0 cGIhfE sc-1d9c28t-0 dVWipe\">\n<figure><figcaption class=\"sc-1d9c28t-3 kUNXdc\"><span class=\"image-caption\">Lynskey confessed that her dream has always been to snap up a property in New Zealand, in addition to their dwelling in California.

It\u2019s such a happy place, and I wanted to make it as cozy as its soul is.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">Perhaps unsurprisingly, Lynskey has filled the dwelling with art pieces from New Zealand, which she said help her to keep her favorite memories of her home country alive. <\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">&#8220;Almost all of my art is from New Zealand,&#8221; she explained. &#8220;When I look at it, I see the hills outside of Wellington or people with moko tattoos\u2014things that just make me instantly think of home.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">Since welcoming their child, the actors have maintained her privacy by not sharing her name or posting any images of her face online, while their home has become even more of a special sanctuary. <\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">In 2022, Lynskey told InStyle to keep their family strong, her husband has refused any acting roles that aren&#8217;t &#8220;life-changing,&#8221; so he is not away from them for long.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">Meanwhile, while the actress is filming, she writes notes to her daughter to help keep them connected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">\u201cShe loves to write notes\u00a0and receive notes, like little cards that say, \u2018I love you so much,\u2019 or if she gets upset about something, she&#8217;ll write out an apology card,&#8221; she said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">&#8220;It says, \u2018I&#8217;m sorry for getting upset that I wasn&#8217;t allowed a lollipop,\u2019 or whatever. So we have stacks and stacks of cards that we&#8217;ve written each other.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 IEPPf sc-7dicpk-0 ccZqsH core-paragraph\">In 2024, she gushed about her daughter while speaking to People, telling the outlet, &#8220;I feel so fortunate to have my daughter, and I love her. It&#8217;s like the joy of my life. Every day, I&#8217;m like, \u2018Thank you, thank you, thank you for this child.\u2019 I want to spend every minute with her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" data-testid=\"text-widget\" class=\"sc-s4khec-0 jknOCu\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/myaccount\/signin?config=NEWS_AND_INSIGHTS_SIGNUP&amp;redirect_url_override=\/myaccount\/profile\/settings\/\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"Herostyles__StyledHero-rui__sc-oinnz5-0 cfoUCN sc-s4khec-1 dNveAM\">\n<div class=\"hero-content\">\n<p class=\"base__StyledType-rui__sc-18muj27-0 fFVyEr\">Get real estate news in your inbox<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"base__StyledButton-rui__sc-7dk5je-1 fzpFdV\" type=\"button\">Sign up now<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actress Melanie Lynskey has had a whirlwind few years in front of the cameras, appearing in hit after hit\u2014from &#8220;Yellowjackets&#8221; and &#8220;The Last of Us&#8221; to Adam Sandler&#8216;s latest Netflix release, &#8220;Don&#8217;t Say Good Luck.&#8221; But despite being one of Hollywood&#8216;s most consistent performers, the mother of one still hasn&#8217;t been able to achieve her [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7041567,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[97036,98799,176449,169128,193381,12348,101593],"tags":[24581,11348,531,176453,1159,22052,193385,203959,55785,4936,72787,1236,16647],"dealstore":[],"offerexpiration":[],"class_list":["post-7041566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-california","category-celebrity-homes","category-celebrity-real-estate","category-homebuying","category-los-angeles-ca","category-new-zealand","category-video","tag-admits","tag-afford","tag-california","tag-celebrity-homes","tag-home","tag-homebuying","tag-los-angeles-ca","tag-lynskey","tag-melanie","tag-native","tag-new-zealand","tag-video","tag-zealand"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
