The scenic property also boasts a coastline almost one mile long, two small waterfalls, stands of native bush, walking tracks and ridges with 360-degree views of Auckland City, which is about 35 minutes away by ferry.

slightly more affordable are the twin islands of Outer Holm and Inner Holm in Orkney they total 12.5 acres and come complete with a six bedroom dwelling all yours for £300 000

Re: Want to buy a farm...just 10 million bucks?
Is that asking price in American Dollars, or New Zealand dollars? Iif Americabn, the asking price of slightly over $21,000 per acre is roughly twice the going rate of between $10 and $11K for grade A farm land in noerheastern Iowa. And actually this property is complete with a mile long coast line, waterfalls, etc this property would seem to be a bargain at ten million. Try buying a mile long coast on either coast in either the US or Italy -- lots of luck.

Re: Want to buy a farm...just 10 million bucks?
It is on an island in the Hauraki Gulf very near Auckland the biggest city in NZ.
I've never been there but it sounds like the incidentals are more important for the sale, rather than farm value.
A rough price guide is $8000 a Hectare (Ha is roughly 2.5 acre) for beef farms. Dairy farms cost a lot more up to $30000/Ha at a guess.
I could be miles out I'm not much involved.

there arent any trees on Orkney (except in gardens) they make a big deal of a tree in the middle of the main street of the main town they call it "the big tree" it only stands by virtue of a large steel post bolted up the middle of it

Re: Want to buy a farm...just 10 million bucks?
you should try Orkney - it would be different!
BTW there are no rivers either! (just a few creeks)

Re: Want to buy a farm...just 10 million bucks?
While we are sharing pictures, here is a pic of my "neighborhood". While I don't have them listed, I do own two farms here. And if the price is right, everything I own is for sale.
