My name is Phil Chavanne and along with my wife and daughters we manage Selah Springs Ranch, an adventure retreat ranch in the Texas Hill Country.

Nestled in the heart of Elsthorpe, Hawke’s Bay, Mangarara is a 610-hectare (1,500-acre) hill country farm that’s been lovingly cared for by the Hart family since 1990. This unique landscape is a vibrant mosaic of lakes, wetlands, peat flats, rolling pasture, steep hills, and a mix of native and exotic trees. Like a living, breathing organism, the farm continues to grow and transform. Over the past 15 years, that transformation has accelerated—towards a more connected, regenerative way of farming that nurtures both land and community. We’d love to invite you further into our journey.
