Overview
Prime Landholding in Central Hutt Valley!
This rare opportunity is located in the heart of the Hutt Valley, offering a substantial site of approximately 2,426 square meters with dual access. The property is being presented to the market for the first time in over 60 years.
The site was formerly home to Saint Martin De Porres Catholic Church and includes two main buildings: a church building of around 500 square meters and a presbytery residence of approximately 300 square meters. The residence features six bedrooms and recreational spaces. These buildings have served the community for more than 67 years, and now a new chapter awaits the current owners.
This property unlocks a wide range of future possibilities for various types of buyers, including historians, hobbyists, builders, developers, commercial investors, large or extended families, church and community groups, health and fitness operators, and those interested in tea rooms or commercial leasing.
This is a significant and rare offering unlikely to be seen again in its current form on the market.
The location benefits from close proximity to Naenae College, Epuni shops, and transport links, including the nearby Epuni train station. The median house price in nearby Avalon is around $700,000, indicating strong demand and growth potential in the area.
Regarding development potential, the area is identified for residential intensification under recent district plan changes. It is zoned for higher-density residential development and offers potential for multi-level housing up to six storeys in select areas near transport hubs. This is part of the updated district plan (Plan Change 56), which encourages greater housing capacity.
This is a rare chance to own a genuine piece of local history. Whether you are interested in restoring the property to its former glory, creating a community space, or unlocking its development potential, the possibilities are extensive and yours to shape.
The church is committed to selling and will consider all offers at the closed tender on Wednesday, 6 May 2026.
