Overview

Historic Motueka landmark - former Catholic Church

A rare and remarkable opportunity to secure one of Motueka's most distinctive heritage properties. Formerly the cherished St Peter Chanel Catholic Church, this beautifully preserved building is a Heritage New Zealand Category 2 listed property, celebrated for both its architectural character and its place in the history of the Motueka community. Constructed in 1917 and crafted with striking Takaka marble, the church stands as a timeless landmark of elegance, craftsmanship, and enduring significance. Positioned on an expansive 890 square metre residentially zoned, landscaped section, the property offers exceptional potential for those seeking a unique residence, creative retreat, boutique venue, gallery space, or inspirational conversion project (subject to council and heritage approvals). Inside, the soaring ceilings, traditional detailing, stained-glass features, and beautiful natural light create an atmosphere that is both peaceful and awe-inspiring. Every corner reflects the grace and permanence of a bygone era, while the generous grounds provide established landscaping, and future possibilities. Properties of this calibre and character are extraordinarily rare. More than just a building, this is a chance to become the custodian of an important piece of Motueka's history - a place where heritage, beauty, and opportunity come together. A truly unique offering for visionaries, preservationists, and lovers of historic architecture. Viewing by appointment only.
