Big On Space, Even Bigger Potential

Right in the heart of Balclutha town, this substantial approx. 420m² Building on a 1,009 m2 is bursting with potential and ready for its next chapter.

Formerly the Opholistic Church and most recently utilised as office space, this versatile building now presents an opportunity limited only by your imagination. The expansive main hall is a true standout complete with an automatic door and generous access, it can accommodate up to 10 vehicles (when parked efficiently), making it ideal for secure storage, a workshop hub, showroom, or even a unique live/work setup.

Inside, you’ll find:

A large commercial-style kitchen

Spacious open-plan living/gathering area with a modern fire for heating

Up to 4 to 5 existing rooms (with scope to create more)

Two separate bathroom/washroom facilities, each with two toilets (potential to add showers)

Positioned on a fenced corner section, the property offers flexibility to enhance and modernise whether you’re envisioning a distinctive residential conversion, backpackers, community-based headquarters, storage facility, creative studio, or business base.

For developers, the size and central location open the conversation for potential redevelopment or townhouse concepts (subject to council approval).

This is a bold, high-exposure site in a prime location that absolutely screams opportunity.

Vacant. Versatile. Visionary.

Bring your ideas and make it happen.
