Flexible living
One of the property's standout features is the separate downstairs accommodation and living area. Ideal for guests, extended family, adult children or multi-generational living, it provides valuable separation while remaining connected to the main home.
It could equally suit those wanting additional space for working from home, hobbies or visitors, giving the property the ability to adapt as your needs change.
Serious space for vehicles, boats and projects
The practical infrastructure here is exceptional. There is extensive garaging, generous off-street parking and a substantial workshop, with additional storage cleverly incorporated beneath and around the home.
For boating enthusiasts, tradespeople, collectors, hobbyists or anyone with vehicles and equipment, this is a significant advantage - and one that is increasingly difficult to find.
Space without the upkeep
The generous site delivers privacy, breathing room and a sense of connection with the surrounding landscape, while the easy-care grounds mean you can spend more time enjoying the Bay of Islands and less time maintaining it.
Despite its peaceful and secluded feel, Russell township is within approximately 15 minutes, providing an appealing balance between privacy and convenience.
A home that deserves closer inspection
264A Kempthorne Road is far more than a conventional three-bedroom home. It combines spectacular views, flexible accommodation, substantial outdoor living, outstanding garaging and workshop facilities, generous parking and intelligent design in one very compelling package.
For buyers seeking a permanent Bay of Islands home, private retreat, multi-generational property or a home with serious space for boats, vehicles and projects, 264A Kempthorne Road deserves to be discovered.
Private. Practical. Beautifully considered with a view that is anything but ordinary.
