There is something genuinely rare about a section that arrives with the hard work already done. 20 Florance Avenue in Russell is exactly that.

This 1380 sq m site on a gently sloped, bush-clad section sits within easy walking distance of Russell township, one of the most historically significant and sought-after coastal addresses in the Bay of Islands. But what sets it apart from other land offerings in the area is what comes with it: both Resource Consent and Building Consent are already granted, together with architectural plans for a 180 sq m, four-bedroom home.

No council process to navigate. No waiting. Just the chance to pick up the plans and move straight into the build.

The section currently sits beneath a canopy of native bush, with genuine potential for views over Matauwhi Bay once some selective clearing is carried out. The topography suits an elevated or tiered build beautifully, the kind of home that sits into the hillside and opens up to the outlook.

Priced at $495,000, this is a straightforward asking price opportunity for buyers who understand what consented land in this location actually represents.

Not every sale is straightforward, and this one took some persistence. Even after our first contract ended, giving up was never on the table — the goal was finding the right buyer, however long it took.

Thank you for this incredibly kind review and for sticking with me through the process too.
