More About Dairy Flat:
Dairy Flat lies within the
Rodney District on State Highway 17. It is a highly desirable rural
district nestled 8 km south of Orewa beach and only 28 km north of
central Auckland. Until the early 1990s most of Dairy Flat and
surrounding district was in dairy farms of 40 to 60 hectares (100
to 150 acres), but with the growth of Auckland City and the
extension of the Northern Motorway into the area, these are being
gradually subdivided into lifestyle blocks of around 2 to 5
hectares (5 to 12 acres), many of which are grazing a few sheep,
the pony or a few cows for the freezer. Although it still retains a
rural character, it is counted as part of the Auckland urban area
in official statistics.
Dairy Flat provides an ideal opportunity
for the lifestyle seekers to enjoy privacy and peaceful country
living, whilst still remaining close to work and schools. We are
finding more buyers are considering Dairy Flat and it is especially
popular for kids and horses, with some great horse friendly
properties and an excellent local primary school plus a small
village centre for daily convenience.
Dairy Flat Primary School
enjoys a decile rating of 10, which suggests the residents of this
area enjoy a good standard. Secondary school is catered for both
locally in Orewa and towards the city with an excellent bus
service.
A major facility in Dairy Flat is the 'North Shore
Airfield' owned and operated by the North Shore Aero Club. In
addition to club and private aircraft, the field is used by Great
Barrier Airlines.
Within five minutes drive across the motorway
lies the Entertainment Zone, which includes Go Carts and Snow
Planet for great weekend entertainment for all ages.
Dairy Flat's
proximity to Albany, Silverdale and Orewa also has high appeal,
with easy shopping, cafes and Orewa Beach only minutes away. All of
this and less than 30km to the Auckland CBD, it is no wonder Dairy
Flat is quickly gaining on the radar as the next lifestyle hotspot.
