Makiri Farm

Makiri Farm is one of the prettiest properties in Helensville, and is situated near the railway, It comprises 2000 acres, half of which is grass land and carries 600 sheep and about 250 head of cattle. The property has been kept in excellent condition and is very English-like in its aspect, the homestead being a two story wooden building of nine rooms, commanding a splendid view of the surrounding landscape. The property was purchased some twenty years ago by the late Mr. James Hand, father of the present proprietor.
