If it is investment opportunities that you are looking for, this property has a recent rental appraisal of around $600 per week. Oratia is one of West Auckland's best kept secrets. Enjoying the best of both worlds, this quiet rural community is only a 20 minute drive (off peak) from the bustling centre of Auckland, yet the peaceful charm of the area allows you to feel you could be a 100 miles from a city. Bordering Titirangi along Scenic Drive, Oratia has much in common with Titirangi but has the advantage of being north facing, less hilly and, because of its pastoral heritage, many of its properties are larger, brighter and sunnier. Many original farmhouses remain as lovely homes with old established gardens. Orchardists, largely apple, vineyards and other growers remain in Oratia, and fresh produce can be purchased from road side shops. Oratia is fortunate to have two regular markets. At the authentic Oratia Farmers Market you can stroll amongst the many stalls of quality local produce, from macadamia nuts to organic gluten free breads and baking, an outing not to be missed. A varied collection of crafts and yummies are presented in a delightful atmosphere at the Oratia Settlers Market. A local bus will take you to Henderson, to Auckland Central or to the Glen Eden Train Station from where trains depart frequently for the 30 min trip to the CBD. All local schools provide pupils with a comprehensive bus service extending as far as Piha. If you are looking for the lifestyle and privacy that Oratia is renown for you must come and view this property! CV: $520,000 as at 2011
