From the listing agent
In the words of Roi Smith-Iri, Bayleys - Whangarei
Escape the hustle and bustle and create the lifestyle you've always dreamed of at 801 Russell Road, Whakapara.
Set on a generous flat 4.8000-hectare (more or less) bare land block, this property offers the perfect blank canvas for those seeking entry-level rural living, a peaceful retreat, or a downsized lifestyle surrounded by nature. Conveniently located just 15 minutes from the beach and only 30 minutes from the Whangarei CBD, you'll enjoy the best of both worlds: country tranquillity with city amenities within easy reach.
Adding to the appeal, resource consent has already been granted for earthworks, helping you get started on your vision sooner. With minimal covenants, the possibilities are endless. Build your dream country farmhouse, create a stylish shed home, establish a tiny home retreat, or embrace a completely off-grid lifestyle. Bordering the property, the beautiful Kaimamaku River provides a valuable natural water source for stock and a stunning recreational feature. During the warmer months, enjoy crystal-clear swimming holes and refreshing swims right on your doorstep.
For those wishing to graze cattle, both paddocks will be fully fenced by settlement. Whether you're looking for your first rural property, a lifestyle change, or a place to create something truly your own, 801 Russell Road offers the space, freedom, and flexibility to make it happen.
Build it your way. Welcome to rural living in Northland.

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.
