From the listing agent
In the words of Irene Bremner, Bayleys - Kerikeri
Held in the same family for the past 27 years, this exceptional 1.0171-hectare (more or less) freehold parcel presents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial coastal landholding in a highly sought-after Bay of Islands location. Gently contoured and currently laid in mown lawn, the land offers a versatile blank canvas - ideal for those looking to build their dream home, establish a lifestyle retreat, or explore future development potential, including possible subdivision (subject to council approval).
Positioned to capture expansive 180-degree sea views, the elevated setting enjoys a commanding outlook across the water, providing an ever-changing coastal backdrop and a strong sense of space and openness. The generous land size allows flexibility in design, privacy between dwellings, and the opportunity to maximise views.
Convenience is a key advantage. The property is located close to the Ōkiato car ferry, offering easy access to Paihia and the wider Bay of Islands, while the Bay of Islands Marina is nearby for boating enthusiasts. Russell township, with its cafés, restaurants, historic charm and waterfront amenities, is just 7.5km away.
Whether you are seeking a premium site to create a coastal home, a long-term land investment, or a property with future potential in a tightly held area, this is a compelling opportunity to secure land with scale, views and location.

Site aspect
Falls ≈ north-west
A north-facing fall suits passive-solar orientation
Adjacent DOC / protected estate
Within 69 m of protected land — Te Pēwhairangi (Bay of Islands) Marine Mammal Sanctuary
Adjacency to DOC or other protected areas can trigger RMA assessment matters, including effects on ecological values and public access.
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.
