Property Description

Incredible opportunity to acquire a long-standing church and former school campus with deep community roots, situated on approximately 8.4 acres of land with endless potential. After serving the community for an impressive 150 years, this historic congregation has made the difficult decision to close its doors, creating a rare chance for a new owner to bring fresh vision and life to this unique property. The campus offers a versatile layout ideal for a religious organization, private or charter school, daycare facility, community center, event venue, nonprofit, or potential redevelopment opportunity. The original school building was constructed in 1963, with major additions completed in the late 1980s, while the newer church sanctuary was added in the late 1990s, blending functionality with modern improvements. The school portion features 11 spacious classrooms, a library, nursery, two administrative offices, and multiple restrooms, providing a strong foundation for continued educational or institutional use. The property also includes a large gymnasium complete with stage area, space for locker rooms, and a small commercial-style kitchen equipped with a 9-foot hood system, prep table, and three-compartment sink - ideal for events, food service, athletics, and community gatherings. The church sanctuary offers seating for approximately 270 people and includes a private pastor’s office with an attached restroom. The expansive groundsfeature two separate parking areas with ample parking capacity, along with significant green space perfect for outdoor recreation, events, expansion, or future development possibilities. Properties offering this combination of acreage, infrastructure, flexibility, and community history rarely come to market. Whether you are looking to continue its legacy or reposition the site for a new purpose, this is truly a one-of-a-kind opportunity with tremendous upside potential.
