Situated at this highly prominent site - corner of High (SHWY 2) and King Streets, Carterton - this rare 3673m2 re-development/subdivision site lends itself to a large number of very exciting opportunities.

The inspiring grounds echo the graceful, restful mature plantings and framework of a much-loved churchyard and sanctuary, and currently includes two buildings:
1. St Mary's Church (Earthquake prone): This version of St Mary's has stood regally within central Carterton since 1932, providing Wairarapa parishioners with an awe-inspiring place of worship and refuge. 300m2 (or so) of floor area features outstanding stained-glass workmanship, crafted beams, brilliant stone masonry, and soaring ceilings. Such a Gothic-style building could be showcased in a multitude of ways, accommodating numerous ideas. Consider: A "Grand Designs" type residence? Apartments? Add a mezzanine floor for an eclectic commercial enterprise? A brewery? Alehouse? Fashion house? Restaurant? Boutique hotel? Function venue? Health spa? Art gallery? Educational facility? Offices?

2. Villa: Previously residential with approximately 200m2, this building has largely catered for church administration, however, could resume that residential function with some amendments. This could potentially be sold for relocation.

With the overall size of the property, the excellent location - being high profile State Highway Two within the heart of quintessential Wairarapa - AND with a good number of carparks already kerbside, the commercial development implications are evident (subject to Council approval. Currently zoned residential).

If both buildings are removed, this expansive site lends well to the likes of trendy townhouses, apartments, through to motel-type development (if consented).

An Information Memorandum is available on request, including LIM and Engineers Report.
