In a market where landholdings of genuine scale, coastal reach, and long term significance are increasingly scarce, Pikarere Farm stands in a category of its own.

Occupying Wellington’s far western coastline, this remarkable property spans approximately 742 hectares, extending from elevated pasture and sheltered valleys to nearly six kilometres of direct Cook Strait frontage. Here, land, sea, and horizon exist in uninterrupted relationship, creating a level of privacy and spatial freedom rarely found within such close reach of a capital city.
The terrain is both commanding and highly functional. Rolling grazing country gives way to fertile lower valley flats, while elevated ridgelines capture extraordinary outlooks across Cook Strait toward Mana Island, Kapiti Island, and the distant Marlborough Sounds. Throughout the estate, dramatic natural scale is matched by genuine day to day usability.
Held by the same family for more than seventy years, Pikarere has been retained as both a productive sheep and beef operation and an enduring coastal holding. It is this duality that defines the opportunity, proven working capability underpinned by a level of rarity, seclusion, and permanence that is increasingly difficult to secure.

Positioned prominently within the estate, the Bernard Johns designed homestead, completed in 1950, provides an architectural centrepiece. Elevated above the surrounding land with expansive coastal outlooks, it reinforces the broader character of the property, substantial, established, and deeply grounded.

Despite the extraordinary sense of removal, Wellington’s CBD, airport, and international connections remain within approximately thirty minutes, allowing this degree of privacy to exist without genuine isolation.

Opportunities of this calibre are exceptionally limited. Pikarere Farm is one of the lower North Island’s most substantial and tightly held private coastal estates.
