Lot 1 Ashburton Gorge And Hoods Road, Mount Somers, Ashburton

Located within the Mt Somers village, nestled in the Mid Canterbury foothills is this amazing historical church and land opportunity. Formerly known as "St Teresa's of the Little Flowers", the vendors have lovingly developed with an entire re-roof, skylights, electrical upgrade of external/internal switchboards and external painting while retaining the character, charm and design features that ordinary homes almost never have. Our vendors vision for developing the church has been documented into inspiring concept plans and a change of direction has left open the door for a buyer to secure this property and make it their own. The potential to convert the main hall with its high vaulted ceiling is limited only by one's imagination - enclose the space into smaller rooms or a mezzanine floor perhaps? The traditional features retained include the Rimu panelling on the floors, walls and ceiling, alter and leadlight windows. Situated on a generous 2023m2 section, this property has the potential to be subdivided or to add further accommodation options and landscape the grounds. Also included in the sale is a consented shed/workshop with concrete floor and two storage containers. Mt Somers and the surrounding area is growing in popularity as a place to live and holiday with a vibrant community, good facilities and schooling options. Perfectly located for a range of sports, leisure and outdoor activities. Whether it is a character home, investment project or unique lifestyle you are looking for or a more commercial venture this property has plenty of scope - enjoy as is, renovate, subdivide or create your own grand design. Offers/enquiries considered over $439,000.
