The location is a major part of the appeal. Russell township, with its cafes, restaurants, shops and waterfront, is within easy walking distance, while Matauwhi Bay offers a relaxed coastal atmosphere. The Russell Boating Club is close by, and access to both the Matauwhi and Russell boat ramps makes this a particularly practical base for anyone who loves being on the water.
Whether your ideal weekend means launching the boat, heading out fishing, exploring the Bay of Islands or wandering into Russell for lunch, this is a location that makes it easy.
One of the properties standout features is the flat, highly usable land. There is excellent space for cars, a boat, caravan and all the gear that comes with a proper Bay of Islands
lifestyle. No steep driveway, no awkward manoeuvring and no wondering where the boat is going to go when you get home.
The site may also offer subdivision potential, subject to relevant planning requirements and approvals, giving buyers another layer of future flexibility to investigate.
Inside, the home retains warmth and character while delivering the comfort of a well-considered renovation. Spacious living areas allow everyone to come together, while four
bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests or working from home. Sunny, private decking extends the living outdoors, creating an easy space for summer dining, entertaining or simply relaxing.
A workshop and excellent storage add another practical dimension, particularly for those with tools, hobbies, boating equipment or outdoor gear.
For buyers looking for a ready-made Russell escape, there is also the option to purchase the property furnished by negotiation. That could make the transition especially simple for out-of-town or overseas buyers wanting a holiday home they can begin enjoying straight away.
This is a property with genuine versatility. It could work as a permanent Russell home, family holiday retreat, base for boating adventures or short-stay accommodation option, subject to applicable requirements.
Ultimately, its strength lies in how much it offers in one easy package: a walkable Russell location, flat land, generous accommodation, excellent parking, boating access, strong
indoor/outdoor living and future potential.
