Written by Owner Matthew Chapman 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 www.parihoa.com www.parihoafarm.com

Written by Matthew Chapman, Owner In 2021, I purchased the 128-acre Tirikohua Point Farm - 'TP Farm'. At the time, I owned the neighbouring two properties: the 25.7 acre House of Parihoa and 554 acre Tabletop Farm. Adding TP Farm to this collection gave 728 acres of West Coast seaside properties, known as Parihoa Farm. As I simplify my life, all three properties are offered for sale, separately or as a whole. TP Farm sits high on cliffs looking over the Tasman Sea and captures the heavenly sunsets of the West Coast that constantly make your jaw drop. The views across Muriwai Beach are exquisite, underrated, and world-class, with Auckland a 40-minute car ride away. It's crowned with a beautiful country-style homestead, which we have renovated, and the already exquisite gardens have been transformed by adding extra features. In 2022, we added a world-class wellbeing pavilion with accommodation for guests. Of greatest enjoyment has been the addition of our mesmerising glass 'star-gazing cabin'. The farmland has beautiful contours, including high plains, low valleys and wetlands. The land lends itself to exploration, glamping and also, of course, farming. According to our Farm Manager, it can hold 200 sheep, 30 cattle, or a combination of both! TP lends itself to private or commercial activities or a mixture of both. Our guests all attest to it being somewhere they have had that inflection point on life, which speaks for itself. Acclaimed New Zealand architect Fearon Hay has done a concept plan for a signature house of the standard of my neighbouring home, the House of Parihoa. This home would incorporate stunning rural views with protection from the weather elements. If I were keeping TP Farm, I could see the next decade's potential. With discipline and imagination, it could rival the wow of my two neighbouring properties. Moreover, that is the beauty of TP Farm - enjoy as is or drive forth with your ultimate vision. www.parihoa.com www.parihoafarm.com

Written by Matthew Chapman, Owner Within New Zealand lies the heavenly Parihoa Farm, a place I am exceptionally proud of. It is the ultimate wellbeing sanctuary, and few properties like this exist worldwide. Comprising 711 acres (287.7ha), and sitting high on cliffs overlooking the Tasman Sea, Parihoa Farm is a multi-dimensional place. It juxtaposes one of the most picturesque rural landscapes in New Zealand and combines it with incredible architecture. We are taking Parihoa Farm to the market as a whole and as three separate parts, each detailed further in their listings: House of Parihoa (25.7 acres), Tabletop Farm (549 acres) and Tirikohua Point Farm (128 acres). Parihoa Farm, as a whole, operates as a private home and events business and contains two working farms. It consists of multiple guest houses, wellbeing structures and entertaining pavilions. The 'House of Parihoa' is the centrepiece, and there is scope to build two other world-class residences of a similar scale. I have had many dreams and visions of what Parihoa Farm can become. My most preferred would be a globally acclaimed transformative wellbeing retreat. However, the choice is yours, to go private or commercial, or a hybrid of both like I have done. A vast seaside location like this, on the West Coast of New Zealand, so close to Auckland, will never be repeated. Price range: NZ$50M plus www.parihoa.com www.parihoafarm.com

Escape and enjoy the ambience of this absolutely private sanctuary. This stunning lifestyle property has a charming grounded feel. Hidden from the public eye there is a sense of intrigue and wonder as you enter the property and weave your way through established trees to magnificent park-like grounds that open up to expansive rural views.

With two entrances, two separate living areas, five bedrooms, five bathrooms and two offices, the home lends itself to having friends and family gather for grand occasions, or simply everyday pool-side relaxation and cosy fireside stories. Rocks hand collected from the property have been used to create quaint stone bridges, a gorgeous miniature games cottage, and an impressive stone haha that all add character and a sense of stepping back in time. With 26 hectares of established forest, an avenue of hawthorns, numerous nooks and secret hideaways to discover, the property has an almost enchanted feel. It’s a magical place to ride horses, mountain bike through the trees, fish along the river, or create little retreat pods to escape the grind of daily life. With the Hawea River running alongside the length of the eastern boundary and room to land a helicopter on the lawn, this stunning property could easily be turned into a hunting and fishing lodge, as it is, one could do Airbnb. The potential of the land is limited only to your imagination… adventure and leadership experiences, creating a wellness centre or retreat style accommodation, horticulture, farming, or just the most amazing bolthole for generations of the family to experience outdoor life and a deep connection to the land. Beyond the house, this working farm boasts yards, a four bay barn and rolling contours with improved pastures as well as fenced and farmed paddocks with irrigation troughs. The property adjoins the Hawea River with walking and biking tracks to both Hawea and Wanaka. Fishing, surfing, kayaking can all be done from the farm gate. This is a rare opportunity to secure a legacy property in Central Otago, perfect as it is, but with an abundance of potential . *Boundary lines indicative only
