Tuapeka Mouth - A unique sanctuary awaits at Saint Augustine Church.
Bathed in natural light, this beautifully reimagined former church showcases original features, including stunning stained-glass windows. A wood burner creates a warm and inviting atmosphere through the cooler months, while large double-glazed sliding doors open onto an expansive deck.
Unwind beneath the stars in the wood-fired spa and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this remarkable setting.
Off-grid living is made easy with nine solar panels, gas hot water and cooking, and roof-collected rainwater. Recent improvements include electrical upgrades, a refurbished roof, insulation, and a thoughtfully updated kitchen featuring modern appliances, gas cooking and a granite benchtop.
Additional enhancements include a heated outdoor shower, separate outdoor toilet, and a new septic system ready for connection to a future indoor bathroom and kitchen (STCA). Much of the groundwork has already been completed for residential conversion, subject to council approval.
Set on approximately 4,199sqm (+/-), the fully fenced section features established trees, a developing food forest, useful outbuildings, rainwater storage, and plenty of room for gardens, chooks and a few farmyard woollies.
Built in 1918, Saint Augustine Church stands in a location rich with local history, including the nearby Tuapeka Mouth Punt and the area's gold-mining heritage. School buses stop at the gate, with Clutha Valley Primary School approximately 10 minutes away and South Otago High School around 25 minutes away in Balclutha.
Conveniently located between Lawrence and Balclutha, both just a short drive away, and approximately one hour from Dunedin Airport, this is a special opportunity to embrace a slower pace of life.
Perfect for creative souls, lifestyle seekers, weekend escapees or anyone craving calm in a busy world, this property offers character, history and potential in equal measure.
