From the listing agent
In the words of Dianne Wynyard, Ray White - Russell
Perched above the ever-changing waters between Okiato and Opua, this is one of those rare sites where the view does all the talking.
From first light to last glow, there's always something happening. From ferries gliding back and forth, yachts at anchor, and launches heading out for the day, the quiet rhythm of the Bay of Islands unfolding right in front of you. It's a front-row seat to coastal life, without ever leaving home.
The land itself offers a generous, gently contoured platform, ideal for designing and building your dream home to maximise both sun and outlook. Whether you're envisioning a permanent residence or a lock-up-and-leave coastal retreat, this is a site that rewards good design.
In the meantime, the property provides a simple base to enjoy now - a place to stay, unwind, and soak in the view while you plan your future build.
Located in historic Okiato, just minutes from Russell township and the car ferry, you're perfectly positioned for both privacy and convenience, with easy access to the wider Bay of Islands.
Why You'll Love It
- Elevated but flat site with sweeping harbour views
- Ever-changing outlook across to Opua Marina
- Watch the ferry crossings, boats and bay life unfold
- Sunny, usable land with excellent building potential
- Peaceful setting just minutes to Russell village or Opua
- A chance to secure the position first and build to suit later
The Opportunity
Sites like this are increasingly hard to find where the view, the location, and the potential all align. Secure it now, enjoy it immediately, and create something truly special over time.

Site aspect

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.
