From the listing agent
In the words of Leigh Robertson AREINZ, NZSIR - Northland
Three generous sections in the heart of one of the Bay of Islands’ most cherished townships offer an opportunity seldom available in Russell. Positioned to capture the morning sun and quiet valley views, each site provides a peaceful setting with the convenience of nearby cafés, beaches and the historic Russell village.
Lot 3 is 0.1857 hectares (more or less), Lot 4 is 0.1936 hectares (more or less) and Lot 5 is 0.2041 hectares (more or less). All are serviced, with a concrete driveway providing easy access to each section. The elevated setting offers a sense of privacy, enhanced by pockets of native bush and regular birdlife. On still evenings you may even hear kiwi in the surrounding valley.
Whether you are looking to build a permanent home, private holiday accommodation or secure a future investment in Russell township, these sites offer endless potential. Each section is within walking distance of Russell wharf, Long Beach, schools and all the essentials that make living here so appealing.
Land in central Russell is tightly held, making this a rare chance to secure your own place in the Bay of Islands. All three sections are listed at $485,000 dollars each.

Site context
What shapes the build here.
Road frontage
0 m
No mapped frontage — check for a registered access easement (see the title above)
Nearest stream

Amenity at this distance, not a constraint
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.
