From the listing agent
In the words of Ash Boyd, NZSIR - Northland
This expansive 5,218 sq m section (more or less) offers the perfect canvas to create your dream home in one of New Zealand’s most historic and sought-after coastal destinations.
Positioned on an elevated site, the property captures stunning views across the Victoria Channel and enjoys a rare sense of privacy while still being highly convenient. Direct access to the Russell Walkway brings the surrounding native bush reserve to your doorstep, while the Russell–Opua car ferry is only one kilometre away and the vibrant Russell village with its cafés, restaurants, and heritage charm is just a short seven-kilometre drive.
The land itself presents an elevated building platform that makes the most of the natural outlook. From here you can enjoy uninterrupted water views framed by native bush. The property borders a reserve, ensuring long-term protection of its peaceful and secluded atmosphere. Despite the privacy, you are never far from key amenities and transport connections.
Sections of this size and quality are rarely available in Russell. Whether you envision a holiday retreat or a forever home, this unique property offers endless potential to design a residence that takes full advantage of its location and outlook.
Do not miss this opportunity to secure your own slice of paradise in Russell. Contact Ash Boyd from New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty today for more information.

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.
