waterfront lands for sale Russell, New Zealand

Rising above the coastline in one of Langs Beach’s most exclusive and tightly held waterfront settings, this exceptional oceanfront site offers a rare opportunity to secure significant residentially zoned land with sweeping, uninterrupted views across the Pacific Ocean. Comprising approximately 5,440 sq m (more or less), the property enjoys an elevated natural position where expansive sea views, glowing sunrises, seabirds and ever-changing coastal light create a dramatic and immersive backdrop to everyday life. Perfectly positioned between the white sands of Langs Beach and nearby Waipu Cove, the setting combines prestige, privacy and permanence in a location defined by its enduring natural beauty and tightly held ownership. Already zoned residential, the site offers exceptional future flexibility. Subject to council approval, there is genuine potential for multiple dwellings and/or a minor dwelling, providing a range of options that may include a striking coastal residence, a carefully considered multi-home arrangement, or a strategic long-term landholding in one of Northland’s most sought-after coastal corridors. This level of versatility, in such a premium oceanfront position, is increasingly rare. The land naturally falls toward the esplanade reserve and dramatic coastal rock formations, where pōhutukawa and native vegetation frame the boundary and reinforce a strong sense of privacy and connection to the landscape. The result is a site that feels both elevated and grounded - open to the horizon, yet protected in its natural setting. Opportunities to secure oceanfront land of this calibre are exceptionally limited. Elevated, private, residentially zoned, and positioned within one of the region’s most desirable coastal environments, it represents a compelling blend of lifestyle, scarcity and long-term value. Offered on its own, or in conjunction with the adjoining oceanfront holding, this is a rare chance to secure a substantial coastal footprint. Together, the combined opportunity creates a significant land holding of scale and presence - a true legacy asset in an irreplaceable waterfront location. We invite your enquiry today to arrange a private viewing and experience the scale, outlook and potential of this extraordinary coastal opportunity firsthand. *Boundaries are indicative only.

Positioned in one of New Zealand’s most tightly held coastal locations, Lots 1 and 2 present a rare opportunity to secure substantial waterfront land at renowned Langs Beach — widely regarded as one of the country’s most desirable seaside destinations. Celebrated for its pristine white sand, safe swimming and relaxed coastal atmosphere, Langs Beach continues to attract discerning buyers seeking both lifestyle and long-term value. Located just over 90 minutes from Auckland, it offers the ideal balance of accessibility and escape — close enough for regular enjoyment, yet far enough to feel like a true retreat. Opportunities to secure sizeable, residentially zoned absolute waterfront land in this location are increasingly scarce, making these remaining sites particularly compelling. Waterfront Scale, Elevation and Genuine Future Potential Among the final opportunities available, Lot 2 stands as a remarkable coastal holding, encompassing 3.7145 hectares (more or less) of residentially zoned oceanfront land. Elevated above the shoreline, the property captures expansive coastal panoramas and enjoys a sense of privacy, scale and presence that is seldom replicated along this coastline. The natural topography provides multiple elevated building platforms, each offering a unique outlook and the flexibility to design and position more than one home, subject to council approval. This creates genuine versatility - whether the vision is a private coastal estate, a multi-generational family retreat, or a carefully considered long-term investment in land that is becoming harder to replace. From these commanding vantage points, the views extend toward Whangārei Heads, across to the iconic Hen and Chicken Islands and the remote beauty of the Mokohinau Islands, and on clear days, as far as Great Barrier Island. It is a sweeping coastal outlook that reinforces the rarity of this position and the enduring appeal of owning land in such a celebrated setting. The land flows naturally toward the esplanade reserve and dramatic coastal formations, creating a direct connection to the shoreline and the lifestyle that defines this part of the coast — swimming, fishing, exploring and unwinding in a landscape framed by mature pōhutukawa and native vegetation. It is the kind of setting that invites both immediate enjoyment and long-term vision. What continues to set Langs Beach apart is its unique combination of natural beauty, accessibility and tightly held ownership. Significant waterfront holdings are rarely released, and when they are, they attract strong interest from buyers who recognise the long-term value of securing land in such a prestigious coastal environment. These sites are not simply sections - they are legacy holdings in a location where demand consistently outpaces supply. The Opportunity Interest in this coastal collection has already been demonstrated, with Lot 5 - the original farmhouse site - now successfully sold, further reinforcing buyer confidence in both the location and the quality of the remaining land. Attention is now firmly focused on Lots 1 and 2, widely considered the premium oceanfront positions within the offering. If you have been waiting for a truly special piece of waterfront land at Langs Beach, this is the moment to act. Opportunities of this scale and calibre are seldom repeated, and once secured, are often held for generations. Contact us today to arrange a private viewing, walk the land, and experience firsthand why these remaining oceanfront sites represent one of the most desirable coastal opportunities currently available. *Boundaries are indicative only.
