200 Forest Hill Road, Waiatarua, Waitakere City, Auckland

Located on Oratia Valley's northern side in the highly sought-after suburb of Waiatarua sits this charming, character cottage. Perfectly positioned for sunshine all day long and a beautiful soul like no other, this is a home you will want to call your own.

Sprawled over 8094sqm (2 acres) more or less of freehold land and surrounded by native forest and vibrant birdlife, this two-bedroom cottage comes complete with two power-ready sleep outs away from the main home (permitted workshop and old kiln structures), a separate tool shed (with three-phase power, currently disconnected) and an enormous lawn. A very special property, versatile in use and in need of some love - bring your tools, your vision, your passion, and bring this beauty back to life.

Our owners have loved raising their 'free-range' family here; camping in their own backyard, sleepovers in the sleepouts, adventures through the forest, quiet mornings, nipping out to Piha (20 mins drive) and being so close to everyday conveniences, but tucked away from hustle and bustle. No traffic noise here, only the summer sounds of cicadas, tui, piwakawaka (fantail) and even the occasional kookaburra.

Live here in serenity or explore building new on the two potential platforms. With plans to build new, the owners have done their homework and have gone as far as the drawings (available upon request), however their path has changed direction. Now, the opportunity is all yours.

This unique and beautiful property sits at the perfect junction between the forest of the Waitakere Ranges and easy access to the local schools and amenities; Park and Ride public transport links, Glen Eden or Sunnyvale Train Station, Oratia Primary School and Kindergarten, ACG, Sunderland College and Henderson Shopping Centre close by.

Start your weekends at the Oratia markets, enjoy the West Coast beaches and trails and unleash your imagination at home. What a lifestyle to live.
