He rents this place. He applied to buy it in 2010 but was it was declined because "Associate Finance Minister Simon Power and Land Information Minister Maurice Williamson decided he did not meet the "good character" test to buy land here.
(land over a certain value purchased by foreigners requires approval).
Bet the Ministers are pleased they made that decision now.
