I am selling Parihoa Farm, 711 acres and consists of three titles - Tabletop Farm, House of Parihoa and Tirikohua Point Farm. Each property is available separately or as part of the whole Parihoa Farm. These listings contain more detail separately on New Zealand Sotheby's International Realty's web site.
Tabletop Farm is Parihoa Farm's most significant piece of land. 549 acres and used jointly for events and farming. The events focused on weddings, commercials and product placement. However, until I sell Tabletop Farm, we will use it commercially only for wellbeing-related activities. It was always my vision of how I wanted the farm to be used. Under our Farm Manager, farming continues with 600 sheep and 100 cattle.
There are two signature house sites on Tabletop Farm that could be chosen for the farm's new-age homestead. My favourite is the incredible "2050" site, 3km from either neighbour's home. This isolated location has astonishing ocean views and takes in the endless vista of Muriwai Beach. Over the years, I created two concepts for this site - a flying saucer bachelor pad in 2018 by Andrew Patterson and, more recently, something more conventional (but still out there) by Fearon Hay. Both are contained in the pictures below.
We have completed various structures on Tabletop Farm since 2013, including a beautiful cottage, a chef-standard kitchen and entertaining pavilion, and a glass gallery with room for 200 diners and two pods. The farm has a fully operational woolshed used by the farmer for shearing.
The potential of Tabletop Farm is hard to fathom. It is such a large tract of land on the coast and so incredibly breathtaking with its topography of wetlands, valleys and plateaus. I have walked every square metre over the years, and it is the ultimate sanctuary. My visions and ideas will enthrall purchasers, and I hope to find the ultimate successor to take it to the next level.
Price range: NZ$20-30M
