194 Paroa Bay Road, Russell, Far North, Northland

This property is arguably one of the finest beachfront properties on the market in the Bay of Islands today. Being located just a short 12 minute drive from Russell Village, you're not too far away to pick up the morning paper, a latte and croissant should you want it.
This contemporary, sleek, residence is a stones throw from the water's edge - you couldn't build it where it is today with the current rules and regulations, it's that close to the water. The entire property comprises 55 acres (22.26ha) so your privacy is assured. The overall design is stunning and architect Andre Hodgskin has captured the essence of Bay of Islands living. The interior has been thoughtfully designed with the family bedroom wing and the guest bedroom wing separated by the most wonderful open plan kitchen, dining and lounge areas all leading out on to huge decks front and back with loggia and outdoor BBQ kitchen ready for the summer.
This north west facing residence is 1,000sqm in size, so ample room for the six bedrooms, four bathrooms and the utility rooms and a huge basement garage and workshop - parking for any number of cars and boats - and home for the wine cellar! The sale price includes all the furniture you see in the photos plus all the bedroom furniture - you just walk in and start living. The property has its own 6 tonne mooring so you can have your sport fisher boat sitting off the residence just waiting to take you on the water - fishing, diving, in fact everything that the Bay of Islands has to offer. There's even a concrete ramp to launch your tender to get you to your moored boat! There's also a second three bedroom, two bathroom cottage on the property set back from the main residence - perfect for a caretaker or a go to area for those noisy teenagers.
