Perched majestically atop cliffs overlooking the Tasman Sea, Little Parihoa offers a privileged vantage point to witness the awe-inspiring sunsets that grace the West Coast, leaving onlookers breathless with every evening spectacle. The vistas across the renowned Muriwai Beach are nothing short of exquisite, showcasing raw natural beauty just a 40-minute drive from Auckland. At the heart of this picturesque estate lies a charming country-style homestead, lovingly renovated to harmonize with its natural surroundings. Surrounding the homestead, meticulously landscaped gardens have been elevated to new heights, creating a sanctuary of tranquillity and beauty.

Written by Matthew Chapman, Owner Back in 2012, I typed 'cliff house' into a web browser. Up came Parihoa Farm in New Zealand, for sale through New Zealand Sotheby's International Realty, with what I now call the 'House of Parihoa' as the centrepiece. As it did then, and now in 2024, this iconic house, created by New Zealand architect Andrew Patterson, still blows me away. I am selling it as part of my transition and will miss it tremendously. Available on its own, surrounded by 25.7 acres of land, or as part of the separate Parihoa Farm listing (which includes Tabletop Farm, House of Parihoa and Tirikohua Point Farm). The black fortress of the House of Parihoa sticks to the land like an alien spaceship that has landed. It is unbelievable from all angles, primarily since it is not domesticated with gardens or structures. It is often surrounded by sheep that stray from our neighbouring Tabletop Farm. Completed in 2008, the House of Parihoa has four large bedrooms with ocean views, two with en-suites and two share a Juliet bathroom. The summer living room is 'wow' and captures the ocean and sunsets in full glory. It has a winter living room with peaceful farm views. The centre courtyard has a pool and spa, protected from the elements. In 2022, we added the Jewel Box. It is the size of seven car spaces and has been a space for music, fitness and creativity amongst my friends. The Jewel Box has heated floors, electric blinds, an incredible sound system, and wine cellar with space for 500 bottles underneath. If more space was needed, a wellbeing pavilion could be added in the top corner of the 25.7 acres of the property. Planting would ensure access to the neighbouring Tabletop Farm does not infringe on your privacy if it was sold separately. Alternatively, buy this farm too! The House of Parihoa defined my life from 2013-23. I now seek my successor to look after this extraordinary piece of architecture. Price range: NZ$20-30M www.parihoa.com www.parihoafarm.com
