Prime real estate owned by the Catholic Church in the heart of Warkworth is now up for sale.
Located at 4-6 Alnwick Street, the 1618m² site “offers immense potential for mixed-use development, retail, commercial, or residential projects”, according to its listing with Re/Max New Zealand Warkworth.
In its consultation document, the church said the estimated value of the Alnwick Street property and vacant land next to the Catholic cemetery near the Pukerito roundabout was around $3.4 million, which was based on the CV.
The listing closely follows the church’s purchase of the former Ascension Wine Estate for an undisclosed price in July (MM, July 24).
The 6.23 hectare property at 480 Matakana Road will become the new home of the Holy Name Catholic Parish.
The parish plans to open a new church and community centre at the new site.
