Written by Matthew Chapman, Owner 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 (which includes Table Top Farm, House of Parihoa and Tirikohua Point Farm). The black fortress of 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's 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 is needed, a wellbeing pavilion could be added in the top corner of the 25.7 acres of the property (marked by white box contained in images). Planting would ensure access to the neighbouring Tabletop Farm doesn't infringe on your privacy if it was sold separately. Alternatively, buy this farm too! From 2013-23, the House of Parihoa defined my life. I now seek my successor to care for this extraordinary piece of architecture. Price range: NZ$20-30M www.parihoa.com www.parihoafarm.com ...
