14 Major Bridge Drive, Russell, Far North

A pocket of coastal paradise

Surrounded by lush native bush and serene sea views, this north-east facing hideaway is truly a pocket of coastal paradise. Brimming with creativity and rustic charm, the colourful cottage is thoughtfully designed to capture sunshine and tranquillity.

Inside, you'll enjoy generous open-plan living, where the kitchen, dining, and lounge areas flow effortlessly together. An open fire adds cosy ambience, while ranch sliders open onto a deck that seamlessly unites the native bush setting with calming water views. A separate toilet on this level adds convenience for everyday living and entertaining.

The master bedroom features its own ensuite, while the second bedroom functions as a self-contained BnB suite with an ensuite, kitchenette, and separate entrance - ideal for guests or additional income. A spacious office/conservatory provides a versatile second living area or can be easily transformed into a third bedroom. Warm native timber detailing adds charm throughout.

Beneath the home, you'll find a laundry, storage, a cosy man cave, and an off-street parking space. With its sunny aspect and inviting character, the property is already successfully operating as a summer Airbnb.

Two sun-soaked decks provide perfect spaces for outdoor entertaining, morning coffees, and soaking up sea views and birdsong. This is coastal living at its most peaceful, with the beach and walking tracks just moments away via the neighbouring reserve.

Located approximately 7km from Russell township and only 4.5km from the Okiato ferry, you'll enjoy easy access to the world-renowned Opua Marina and the wider Bay of Islands playground.
