From the listing agent
In the words of Dianne Wynyard, Ray White - Russell
A rare opportunity in the heart of Russell
Bare land in central Russell is becoming increasingly hard to find making this 1,260sqm site a truly compelling offering.
Positioned at the end of a quiet, established cul-de-sac, this elevated section enjoys peaceful surroundings and views out over Matauwhi Bay.
With a gentle contour and generous proportions, it offers an easy platform to design and build a home that captures both sun and outlook, whether you're planning a permanent residence or a lock-up-and-leave retreat.
Opportunities like this are few and far between.
While the listing price is $498,000 the vendor is extremely negotiable.
The description above is the listing agent's own wording, via Ray White - Russell. Devlin Property's independent read — buildability, services, hazards and total cost — is in the panels above.

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.
