54 Oneroa Road, Russell, Far North

North-facing with uninterrupted views over Long Beach, out to Motuarohia / Robertson Island and across the greater Bay of Islands, this two-level, architecturally designed rusticated cedar home truly captures it all.The main living level is designed to embrace both light and landscape, with open-plan living flowing effortlessly to a generous upper deck. A recently renovated kitchen enjoys inspiring sea views, while two bedrooms are positioned on this level, including a master suite that opens directly onto the deck. An updated ensuite and family bathroom, along with a separate office or third bedroom, provide flexibility for families or those working from home. High ceilings enhance the sense of space and natural light, making this level ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Downstairs, with its own separate entrance, a fully self-contained two-bedroom apartment offers excellent versatility. Open-plan living extends to the lower deck and is complemented by a galley-style kitchen and separate bathroom. With holiday accommodation in strong demand in this sought-after location, the apartment presents an appealing opportunity for additional income or guest accommodation. The 1,172sqm (more or less) bush-clad section slopes away in front of the home, helping to protect the stunning sea views while attracting abundant birdlife, including tūī and kererū. A warm microclimate provides ideal conditions for establishing a food forest or vegetable gardens, should you wish.Set in a peaceful and private position, the property is just a short drive or approximately an 800m walk to the white sands of Long Beach (there is a handy short cut for those on foot) - one of Northland’s most loved beaches. Safe swimming at all tides, sparkling waters, pōhutukawa-lined picnics, fishing, paddle boarding and kayaking all form part of everyday life here, with the popular coffee cart nearby to complete the experience.Russell’s historic village is approximately 1km away, placing cafes, restaurants and local amenities within easy reach.Homes in this tightly held area are rarely available. Combining outstanding views, privacy and flexibility, this is a premium Bay of Islands opportunity.
