18B Kaha Place, Russell, Far North, Northland

Sensational waterfront property shines in the right direction.

Russell, it must be said, has a lot to offer; one of the most beautiful coasts in the world, a haven for nature and an almost winterless north. No wonder everyone keeps coming here, weekend visitors and those looking for a second home. It is a place where you know you have done a few things right in the world.

This house takes maximum advantage of its north-facing waterfront setting. The architecture is designed specifically to make the beautiful sea views and incredible sunsets open to all. Built with long-lasting Matai wood floors and stairs, block work walls and cedar wood cladding, it really looks the business. The producers of this property have done their homework. There are double-glazed European windows plus fly screens on all opening doors and windows. It is fully air-conditioned with each rooms temperature able to be controlled independently. There are smoke detectors on all floors and a central vacuum system for simplicity.

All 4 bedrooms have en-suites, fully tiled bathrooms, underfloor heating, heated mirrors, heated towel rail and courtesy lights. All stairs have courtesy lighting and there is even a lift between all floors! There is plenty of room for parking with a double garage, plus outside parking for up to 10 cars and an 8-metre boat! Outside, all decking and steps are made from Purple Heart wood - which has a 50 year above ground lifespan. There is a new spa house with steam room, gym area, shower and it is wired for an infra-red sauna with more outside space for a hot tub!

Then there is the swimming pool. Enjoy swimming in the luxurious 12 x 4 metres enviro swim pool, with no chemicals and electric cover. You'll never run out of water here as there are 2x 25,000 litre freshwater tanks for the house and 1x 25,000 litre for the garden, with outlet points all around the grounds. Finally, there is the sea itself - an easy and safe path takes you down to two fine beaches and a 2 ton block mooring.
