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, The Luge 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.
