Nestled at the edge of rural properties, within a 30-minute journey from Hobart's CBD, a captivating secret is poised to be discovered - a sandstone church that has withstood the test of time since the 1800s.
This remarkable property is now seeking a new owner, a guardian of history, and a tender of the land. Its story is one of meticulous preservation and an invitation to a life steeped in heritage.
As you approach the property, it's the original church doors, sandstone exterior and church windows that first capture your attention. The stone exterior, weathered by centuries, exudes an air of timelessness.
Approaching the entrance along a tree lined driveway, you are greeted by a crushed gravel pathway that winds around part of the graveyard and beautifully designed native gardens.
Upon crossing the threshold, you are transported to a bygone era. The lower level of the church is a harmonious blend of old-world charm and contemporary convenience.
Polished concrete flooring in the rustic, country style kitchen at one end meets the spacious, timber floored lounge at the other. The homely kitchen feature gas cooktops, wooden benches and double French doors
opening onto a covered outdoor area-a place for alfresco gatherings under the protection of a high roof. Here, friends and family come together, creating cherished memories amidst the enchanting surroundings.
Also on the lower level you discover the main bathroom complete with bath, a second bedroom with built in wardrobes (currently being used as a reading writing room), the laundry and an adaptable walkthrough space,
poised to serve as a home office where inspiration flows amidst the whispers of time.
As you follow the hallway to the lounge through one of the original church doors, featuring a stained-glass window depicting St George slaying the dragon, you are drawn to the west facing windows that capture the
golden rays of the afternoon sun. Here, the cathedral ceilings soar high above, a testament to the grandeur of the past. The lounge room proudly displays the church's original features, a tapestry of history within its very
walls.
A graceful staircase leads to a mezzanine level, where the main bedroom awaits. Elevated above, it offers a private retreat, a place to rest, dream, and reflect. Stay warm and cosy, even in the coldest winter months, with
thermostat controlled hydronic heating featured throughout the entire church.
At the rear of the property, a separate building stands a modernized space to offer an array of conveniences to the astute buyer.
Stepping outside and wandering through the gardens, you'll find a serene haven of meandering paths that wind through a rich tapestry of foliage, fauna, and native plants. This generous 4000sqm allotment invites you
to embrace the beauty of your surroundings and reconnect with nature without leaving home.
But this property holds a solemn responsibility within its grounds. Approximately 44 graves bear witness to history, and as the new owner, you take on the role of caretaker for the grounds and graves. Though the age of
the graves means that visitors are rare, the occasional family member pays their respects, allowing you to honour the past and nurture the future.
This is more than just a house; it's an invitation to live a lifestyle enriched by history, serenity, and purpose. Whether you seek a haven of tranquillity, a unique home, or a distinctive business venture, this property offers it
all. Embrace the divine blend of old and new and become the guardian of this unique piece of history.
