From the listing agent
In the words of Dianne Wynyard, Ray White - Russell
Set within the increasingly sought-after coastal community of Jacks Bay, 260 Kempthorne Road presents an outstanding land-only opportunity with genuine building appeal and immediate practical value.
This well-positioned site features a flat, ready-to-build area, making it an ideal foundation for a future holiday home, permanent residence, or long-term investment. The contour of the land significantly simplifies the building process, allowing you to focus on design, lifestyle, and maximising value.
Adding further appeal is a compliant shed, providing secure storage for tools, equipment, or recreational gear, an invaluable asset while planning or building, and equally useful once your home is complete. Additional existing structures on site offer practical utility and lifestyle flexibility.
Surrounded by an area where quality and premium homes are continuing to be developed, this property sits comfortably within a neighbourhood that reflects thoughtful planning and long-term confidence. Jacks Bay is prized for its relaxed coastal atmosphere, natural beauty, and appeal to both holidaymakers and those seeking a quieter pace of life year-round.
Whether you're looking to landbank, build now, or create a coastal base to enjoy for years to come, this property offers versatility, usability, and location, and has all the right ingredients for a smart next move.
Opportunities like this, with flat land and compliant infrastructure already in place, are becoming increasingly hard to find in Jacks Bay and the surrounding Russell area.

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.
