From the listing agent

In the words of Dianne Wynyard, Ray White Russell

Convenient section in the Bay of Islands PRICE REDUCED Situated in a handy position, with a close drive to the Russell / Opua car ferry and a short drive to Russell Village. An elevated build site overlooking native bush and a small view of the water. If you enjoy walking , the bush that connects to the Russell to Opua board walk track right on your door step, you can walk to and from Russell, or catch the ferry and extend your walk all the way to Paihia and Waitangi! A blank slate to create your entry into the Bay of Islands. Great for a family syndicate holiday getaway, retreat cabin, a home away from home, bring your imagination and inspiration.
