Introduction

We are selling two exquisite properties, set side by side overlooking Russell Bay in the village of Russell in the Bay of Islands. The properties each have their own separate title and are presently run as one property by the current owner. It is possible to sell off one of the properties but our vendor wishes to sell both.

The main residence is 4 Pitt Street and the smaller free-standing townhouse sits on 2 Pitt Street. They share a common entrance.

Sitting just below the main house is this new free-standing second house - built in the same style as the main residence. It's on three floors - garaging on the ground floor, two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the middle floor and the open plan living, dining kitchen on the top floor. The two top floors have decks on two sides all with views over the Bay - just lovely. The theme is colonial with an emphasis on native New Zealand timbers - floors, doors and joinery. There are great outside deck areas for relaxing, BBQing etc.

The gardens have all been professionally landscaped and any new owner will not have to do a thing. The current owner's philosophy is that only the best will do! and the proof is in what this property offers.

He has other projects he wishes to invest in and this place has to go. He is realistic with his expectations and will negotiate to ensure it sells.

4 Pitt Street - the main residence

This has to be one of the finest coastal residential properties in the Bay of Islands and arguably New Zealand.

In its former life the property was run as a lodge catering for up to 10 guests.

The current owner has totally transformed the property into an exclusive four bedroom residence and has totally redesigned it and refurbished it to the highest international standard possible - the best of everything!!

First impression count and as you drive through the automatic gates you get the feeling that you're entering a special place. Up to the top of the driveway past the second residence (we'll come back to that later) into sight comes this magnificent colonial style multi level residence - you enter through an impressive foyer and immediately notice the native timber doors and surrounds - comfortable......solid. This level has the double garaging and a new lift to take you to the upper floor - the lift is not one of those hydraulic rams, but a lift that you would normally see in an upmarket commercial building - fast and quiet. Let's go straight to the top floor - the living floor - exiting the lift and turning into the open plan dining and kitchen area you are captivated by the view and are drawn to it.

Kimberley sits right above the village of Russell at its southern/eastern end. You stand on the decks and you feel you can touch the moored yachts below and the views are across to Paihia and Waitangi to the west. There's always something going on in the Bay.

The open plan dining and kitchen go from front to back and connect with a fabulous deck and entertaining area with a large swimming pool and private sunning areas - all stunning and very private.

The kitchen is just amazing - granite benches and the best quality European appliances, tons of storage areas all professionally detailed - this is all class - the best of the best.

This floor also has a large lounge with gas fireplace (double sided, so the dining room also benefits from its ambience) and leather and chandeliers, native timber everywhere - it reminds you of a bygon
