The Channel Nine chief executive Hugh Marks has spent $4.075 million for a retreat in the Berry hinterland.
It comes as he is announced to lead the Nine-Fairfax merged media company which sees Nine own 51.1% and the weakened Fairfax at 48.9%. 
The family's Shoalhaven weekender is a contemporary, architect-designed residence at Broughton Vale.
Yeramba is set on 40 hectares with about half cleared for livestock.
Much of the rest is natural bushland with a permanent creek, waterfall and rock pools.
It was sold by former NEC and Hewlett-Packard boss Alan Hyde and his wife Joanne.
The marketing of the TDDP Architects-designed home indicated it was "developed on ecological and sustainable principles."
Nick Dale of Belle Property Berry secured the $4.075 million sale. 
The Berry district residential price record was set at $4.75 million last December when Bond University chancellor Annabelle Bennett and her husband <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/80247-former-solicitor-general-highlands" target="_blank">David Bennett, QC</a>, bought a 20-hectare retreat from a Macquarie Group executive.
Marks, who was appointed to Nine’s top job in late-2015, has been appointed as the next chief of the Nine Fairfax merged media entity under the chairmanship of Peter Costello.
Mark advised the merged "marks a truly momentous development for Nine’s future."
The existing Nine television and digital businesses, to be known as NEC will become the proprietor of the historic Fairfax mastheads as well as the new majority owner of Domain (60%) and the Macquarie Radio Network (54.5%). 
The transaction Nine will also move to 100% ownership of Stan.
His property purchase, without the precise price, was revealed last weekend by Fairfax Media.
He has been based in Artarmon where he bought his Californian bungalow for $765,000 in 1998.
Last year he spent $2,015,000 on a three-bedroom investment <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/75950-channel-nine-boss-hugh-marks-buys-neutral-bay-pad" target="_blank">Neutral Bay</a> pad.

Professional surfer Owen Wright is selling Ahimsa, his redundant tree-change Berry district retreat.
The Culburra Beach-born wave rider used the property as his refuge while he was recovering from a career-threatening injury.
In late 2015 Wright suffered a traumatic brain injury just before the Pipeline Masters event in Hawaii.
Wright has listed his tree-change escape at Brogers Creek Road, Brogers Creek, since he has moved to the north coast of NSW, where he lives with partner, singer Kita Alexander, and their son.
The property offers privacy, views and private creek frontage.
The one-bedroom home sits in a cleared patch on the 2.39 hectare holding, with a full wall of bi-fold doors opening out to the large ironbark deck.
The kitchen offers a servery window on to the covered deck area.
Even the shower can be open to the outdoors.
Other than the cleared land around the house, the rest of the property is natural rainforest.
Wright, who purchased the Brogers Creek property in 2016 for $765,000, has called it his “little piece of heaven on earth”.
It’s also been used by his sister, fellow professional surfer Tyler.
Ahimsa has been listed by Kate Morgan of Ray White Gerringong without public price guidance.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2018/12/20/Surfer%202.JPG" alt="">
The nearby property Boya, a late 1990s, one-bedroom 55sqm house on 8.6 hectares on Wattamolla Road, Woodhill, sold for $1,370,000 last month.
In early 2017, Wright made a return to professional competition, 15 months on from the head injury.
Wright also owns a three-bedroom apartment in Thirroul, which he bought for $605,000 in 2012.
He has owned in Byron Bay since 2010, when he paid $975,000 for a 1930s Federation home, architecturally designed by Running Dog Design.
