60 Main Street, Greytown, Wairarapa PROJECT: GREYTOWN CHURCH CONVERSION!!

An exciting opportunity arises to secure an iconic Greytown landmark - steeped in historic charm and appeal - sited within a beautiful, 1090m2, residential, Main Street, corner section!

The main church building was designed by notable Wellington architect, Thomas Turnbull, opening on Christmas Day, 1880. It consisted of a humble colonial nave featuring Gothic-styled stained-glass windows and a quatrefoil rose window accent, with three corbelled brackets highlighting the sweet church spire. In 1957, what was initially the Greytown courthouse, circa 1883, was shifted to the site and added as the transept to provide additional space for seating and utility rooms.

Today, the recorded floor area of 140m2 continues to offer polished timber floors complemented by an abundance of natural light, whilst chapel ceilings soar, and a small gallery level brings further inspiration for the successful Purchaser. Sweeping lawned grounds are prettily maintained, bordered and punctuated by mature trees, shrubs, and rose gardens, with delightful street appeal from both road frontages.

Being positioned on the edge of Greytown's CBD, the vibrancy and charm of New Zealand's first planned inland township (1854) is at your doorstep. Boutique shopping, cafes, restaurants, artisan bakery and butcher's, local markets and schooling are within convenient access, with rail a mere five minutes' drive or so away for your commute to Wellington.

Zoned residential, the property lends itself ideally for residential conversion through a change of use application with SWDC.

Having faithfully served the Greytown Catholic community for 140 years until 2020, the property now embarks on the next step of its journey, providing new owners a chance to add their own touch to a slice of historic Greytown.

Asking price $700,000 plus gst
