From the listing agent
In the words of Emma Rich, NZSIR - Northland
Build here and wake up to beautiful views over the calm waters of Pomare Bay. With selective clearing around the consented house site, your new home opens up to the water while native bush frames it on every side.
This freehold section in sought-after Te Wahapu covers 9,010 sq m (0.901ha) (more or less) of established native bush, with space, privacy and a setting that is here to stay. The land slopes down towards the bay, and a 600 sq m building platform is already consented, so your house site is settled and you can go straight to planning your Bay of Islands home.
A registered conservation covenant and land covenants protect the surrounding bush. The mature kanuka and regenerating natives around the site stay in place, which secures your privacy and the view you look out to. This is not a site that will be built out.
A pedestrian right of way leads down to Pomare Bay, one of the most sheltered anchorages in the inner Bay of Islands, so a morning swim or kayak is just a short stroll away. The property sits at the end of a quiet private lane off Te Wahapu Road, a few minutes from Russell village and the Okiato car ferry.
It suits a permanent home or a holiday retreat. This is a rare chance to own land where the bush, the privacy and the setting are protected for the long term.

Orientation we design around — see the contours on the aerial
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.
