From the listing agent
In the words of Dianne Wynyard, Ray White - Russell
Convenient section in the Bay of Islands
PRICE REDUCED
Situated in a handy position, with a close drive to the Russell / Opua car ferry and a short drive to Russell Village.
An elevated build site overlooking native bush and a small view of the water.
If you enjoy walking , the bush that connects to the Russell to Opua board walk track right on your door step,
you can walk to and from Russell, or catch the ferry and extend your walk all the way to
Paihia and Waitangi! A blank slate to create your entry into the Bay of Islands.
Great for a family syndicate holiday getaway, retreat cabin, a home away from home,
bring your imagination and inspiration.

What shapes the build here.
Road frontage
51 m
AUCKS ROAD — vehicle crossing still needs council approval
Nearest wetland
246 m
Unlikely to constrain the build
Nearest stream

Setback unlikely to bite — verify in the district plan
Nearest coast

Amenity at this distance, not a constraint
Nearest lake

Site aspect
Falls ≈ north-west
A north-facing fall suits passive-solar orientation
Distances are from the parcel centroid to Topo 1:50k features (LINZ); site aspect is approximate, from the 1m LiDAR contours. Road frontage is a proxy — centreline intersection with parcel boundary, not a legal access measure. Confirm setbacks with a district-plan check before purchase.
