Just south of Makikihi, the beautifully restored St Mary's Church offers a unique lifestyle opportunity where peace and elegance meet innovation and enterprise.
The expansive open concept living, dining, and kitchen area is both grand and welcoming, featuring thoughtfully double-glazed stained-glass windows that preserve the church's character while enhancing comfort. The contemporary kitchen is fully outfitted with modern appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a bar fridge, making it ideal for entertaining or everyday living.
Tucked into the layout are a dedicated workspace and a creative nook, perfect for remote work or hobbies. The former altar space has been transformed into a serene sitting area, offering panoramic views of the Hunter Hills and snippets of the Pacific Ocean. Or step outside to the sun-drenched patio for a quiet evening drink.
The newly constructed upper level showcases the building's original timber beams, adding warmth and character to the hallway and guest bedrooms. One guest room features a striking stained glass window that fills the space with radiant morning light. The master suite, perched above the altar, is a spacious, almost hexagonal retreat with a generous walk-in wardrobe and a private ensuite. Both upstairs bathrooms are tastefully designed and benefit from solar tubes, bringing in soft, natural light.
Beyond the home, the property extends into a flourishing two-hectare horticultural venture. A full hectare is protected by a bird-resistant and bee friendly windbreak canopy, sheltering strawberry and blueberry bushes alongside approximately 700 haskaps. Another 1400 (approx) haskap plants are loving life outside the canopy. A rising superfood known for its high levels of vitamins, antioxidants, and polyphenols, haskaps are amazingly versatile and can be used in everything from fruity ice-cream to zingy sauces.
This productive land offers not only beauty but also significant commercial potential, some of which remains untapped. Whether you're seeking a peaceful lifestyle, a boutique agribusiness, or both, St Mary's Berries is ideally positioned for growth and success.
