Finding a manageable 3,000m2 lifestyle block is a rarity, but half way between Dairy Flat and Waitoki is the site for your new home. Flat land with a raised building platform, and just minutes to the Silverdale onramp to the Northern Motorway, this is a huge opportunity to start your affordable country lifestyle property. \nSuitable for grazing your horse, perhaps adding an Alpaca or some sheep, and for building a sizeable lifestyle home and hobby farmlet, this property is unique because rarely does a property of this size come on the market. \nYou get a choice of schools, either at Waitoki, or Silverdale and Orewa are other options. Shopping is close by at Silverdale with its new shopping centre with Pak 'n' Save, Bunnings, the Warehouse and around 30 other specialty stores, or drive to Waitoki and enjoy its fabulous little caf?.\n\nClick here to view Michael Guy's personal website\n\nTo view a video on the Hibiscus Coast Region, click on the 'Virtual Tour' or 'View Video' button.\n\nMore about Waitoki:\nWaitoki lies within the Rodney District between S.H.16 on the west and S.H.17 on the east. It is a highly desirable rural district nestled 10km west of the Silverdale motorway on-ramp and only 33 km north of central Auckland within the Rodney District on State Highway 1. Until the early 1990s most of Waitoki 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.\nWaitoki 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 Waitoki 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.\nWaitoki 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.\nWaitoki neighbours Dairy Flat which has the North Shore Airfield that caters for Great Barrier Airlines and local small plane owners.\nWithin ten minutes drive across the motorway lies the Entertainment Zone, which includes Go Carts, The Luge and Snow Planet for great weekend entertainment for all ages.\nWaitoki'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 35km to the Auckland CBD, it is no wonder Waitoki is quickly gaining on the radar as the next lifestyle hotspot. \n\n\n
