Just before Christmas, a 15-strong group armed with sticks and traditional weapons confronted him at his farm in Mashonaland East province and ordered him to leave.
The armed men were accompanied by a central bank employee who claimed the property.
Although the High Court granted Mr Finnaughty an order to stay and told the new occupant to leave, she stayed put.
In early January, he was forced off the farm – abandoning more than 150 workers and livestock including chickens, cattle and pigs.
"We are totally gutted. We are farmers, we all know – everyone in the world knows – that the country is totally desperate for economic revival. That’s what we’re here for," says Mr Finnaughty.
"I’m a Christian and I live on my faith, [but] at this moment I’m not talking to [God] because I’m very bitter at this stage."
He and his family fled to Harare where they now fear for their lives.
