To be sold by Auction if not sold prior - a rare opportunity for anyone dreaming of a truly unique home! This striking partial church-and-living-area conversion is offered as the current owners prepare to relocate. Just 13 minutes from Oamaru and enjoying sea views, the property combines privacy, space, and the potential to become fully self -sufficient - all set on a beautifully positioned 2023m2 section.
The converted portion of the building has been adapted to create a comfortable and welcoming home, while the original sanctuary remains ready for transformation, offering the exciting potential to open the current living spaces into the church itself. This allows new owners to further showcase the building's timeless character, including its beautiful Rimu flooring, arched ceilings, and captivating stained-glass windows.
A wood burner positioned in the kitchen-dining area provides cosy warmth throughout, with seamless flow into the sunlit lounge. The bathroom features a shower-over-bath and vanity, complemented by a separate toilet and separate laundry for added practicality. The existing bedroom is accessed via stairs from the lounge, with excellent potential for additional bedrooms or the creation of a mezzanine floor.
The tandem garage, complete with two utility rooms, offers versatile space ideally suited for an office, workshop, or hobby area.
Constructed in 1935 and opened in 1937, the church served its community until the 1980s. Recent upgrades, including a new kitchen with dishwasher, have enhanced convenience while preserving the building's original charm and historic integrity.
