From the listing agent

In the words of Irene Bremner, Bayleys Bay of Islands

Tucked away in the coveted Russell Heights, this 1,141sqm freehold section offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of paradise. Nestled above the iconic Long Beach, this quiet, secure gated community delivers more than just a location - it's a lifestyle. From the moment you step onto this elevated land, the views take center stage. Expansive sea vistas unfold from Te Wahapu, sweeping over Matauwhi Bay and reaching out towards Paihia and beyond. It's the kind of view that feels like it belongs in a painting - but it's yours to experience every day. The natural contour of the section offers a blank canvas for your vision. Whether you're planning a contemporary retreat or a timeless coastal sanctuary, the land is ready to accommodate your dreams. The perfect setting for a home that's as unique as the location itself. For nature lovers, this piece of land is a gateway to the great outdoors. Surrounding bush tracks offer peaceful walks, with birdlife and native flora just steps from your door. And, when you're in the mood to take in the sea air, Long Beach is just 1km away - perfect for morning strolls or sunset swims. Less than 2km from the bustling heart of Russell, this section is close enough to the town's charm and vibrancy but far enough to ensure the serenity you crave. Here, you're within reach of some of New Zealand's finest beaches, diving spots, and fishing grounds. This is coastal living at its best. Exclusive, elevated, and filled with possibility - this freehold section is ready to become whatever you envision. Your gateway to a new way of life in the Bay of Islands awaits.

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.
