Where thoughtful design meets extraordinary views
Sweeping water views, flexible living and exceptional practical spaces come together at 264A Kempthorne Road - a substantial three-bedroom home in a private pocket of the Russell Peninsula.
Elevated above a landscape of rolling rural land and native bush, the home enjoys an expansive outlook across Clendon Cove towards Te Huruhi Bay. Generous decks extend the living outdoors, creating superb spaces for entertaining, dining or simply taking in the ever-changing Bay of Islands scenery.
Built by an engineer for his own use, this is a home where thoughtful design and genuine practicality are evident throughout. The layout works beautifully for everyday living, with generous spaces, excellent storage and carefully considered details that make the property both comfortable and highly functional.
Property Highlights
• Three-bedroom main residence with generous living spaces
• Sweeping rural, native bush and water views across Clendon Cove towards Te Huruhi Bay
• Separate downstairs guest/family accommodation offering excellent multi-generational flexibility
• Expansive outdoor decks designed to maximise the outlook and Bay of Islands lifestyle
• Extensive garaging, off-street parking and substantial workshop space
• Large yet easy-care site, offering privacy and space without the demands of a lifestyle block
• Thoughtfully engineered and exceptionally practical throughout
• Private Russell Peninsula setting, approximately 15 minutes from Russell township
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.
