8.96 hectares (approximately 22 acres) of mixed contour land with
native bush outcrops, some mature pine trees and several
picturesque glades to graze a few animals is criss-crossed by an
extensive network of walking, bike or horse trails. There are
glimpses of the coast and surrounding countryside from several
vantage points around the property including from the deck of the
cute little cottage that is just ripe for renovation. A formed,
level building platform awaits a creative owner to dream up an
appropriately designed home to befit this special property. A
second levelled area is ready to house the barn or implement shed
to complete the flexible mixed family living combination or home,
work from home or income option. The property is 'secreted away'
down a tree lined driveway and is conveniently located at the end
of a safe and quiet no exit country road. The fast developing
Silverdale Centre, schools and motorway on ramp are only 5 minutes
drive away. The beachfront township of Orewa with its stunning
white sandy beach playground, eclectic collection of shops cafes
and restaurants are just a few minutes further down the road. The
close proximity to a selection of special New Zealand places of
interest such as Puhoi Historic Village, Mahurangi and Wenderholm
Regional Parks, Waiwera Hot Pools and Spa, the jewelled Hibiscus
Coast and North Shore beaches provides an array of weekend
activities to choose from, all within 15-20 minutes drive from
home. Being so close to the main North- South arterial route allows
for easy commuting into Auckland City or a quick escape further
north to visit the Grandparents making this property a very
strategic secret lifestyle retreat.

More About
Dairy Flat:
Dairy Flat lies within the Rodney District on and
around Dairy Flat Highway. 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 now part of the Auckland City Council boundaries.
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'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.
