Shania Twain plans to farm up to 15,000 merino sheep on her New Zealand, South Island properties and expects to turn the investment into an $800,000-a-year business within two years.
The business will require six full-time employees and a further 15 staff over three years to work on development projects.
These include a $1.5 million home for the couple; $250,000 to build woolsheds and sheepyards, $100,000 for shearers' quarters; fencing worth $360,000, and $80,000 on roads and an airstrip.
Twain and her producer-songwriter husband, Robert Lange, paid $21.4 million for the perpetual lease of Motatapu Station and Mt Soho Station, near Wanaka, New Zealand.
