Property listing ID: 602771
Local landmark nestled in a picturesque setting has for many years been the center of attention for not only many photographers and artists but also moviemakers and a music video. Built in 1886 and utilized as a Presbyterian Church until decommissioned 100 years later in 1976. The Church is now privately owned and hired out for weddings and special occasions. The current owners have lovingly restored the beautiful solid Kauri church with a new roof and exterior paint. Situated on a generous 2732m² section with a stunning backdrop across rural farm land of Lake Pokorua and the Tasman Sea, where you are spoilt with the magnificent sunsets over the ocean and the reflections of the moon off the lake and star filled night skies in the evenings. Auckland Council has confirmed that a 2nd dwelling can be built on the property and alterations can be made to the Church. Resource Consent would be required, along with property plans for approval. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of New Zealand history, where you can continue with hiring out the Church for weddings etc. or you could extend, build or relocate a home to make this your own unique dream property. Located on the beautiful undiscovered Awhitu Peninsula (one of Auckland's best kept secrets) and approximately 1 hour from Auckland Central. The property description shows there is 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. These items are not on the property. It is solely a Church.
