Description
With a rare imagination for what could be, it's hard to describe the incredible foresight our talented owner has demonstrated in reimagining this unique piece of Australian history.
When purchasing the C1873 Sandstone Church (constructed in the Gothic architectural style), our owner set about creating an extraordinary new future for what was, at the time, the longest running Congregational Church in Australia. What has been created are several, wonderful opportunities, such as:
- short-stay accommodation in 2 and live on-site yourself;
- have long term tenants in 1, 2 or 3 individual units;
- live in 1 (or 2) and have the other for extended family or guests;
- work from home whilst generating income from 1 or 2 others;
- strata title each unit (STCA).
An extensive list of works has been undertaken to ensure the original property is absolutely sound which includes (but is not limited to) entire re-roofing and bracing of roof structure, re-pointing sandstone walls, re-wiring, re-plumbing, and restoration of flooring of original Church building.
Surrounded by lush gardens with a variety of plants offering privacy and year-round variety, the original sandstone Church is now home to 2 designer, 1 bedroom units which, while respecting the history and features of the original property, now offer stunning, contemporary accommodation.
The Church also has a modern extension (Manager's accommodation) at the rear. This contemporary, Executive unit again features several acknowledgements to its heritage, tastefully interwoven into the texture of the new build. This one bedroom unit was, in fact, a nominee in the Design Awards 2024 for small build.
Richmond is a popular tourist village, rich in history dating back to the early 1800s. It offers a beautiful community, just 25-30 minutes from the CBD of Hobart, and encompasses galleries, museums, cafes, historical landmarks and the wider Coal River Valley with well regarded wineries and restaurants.
An over-used word in real estate is "unique" but on this occasion, it is truly appropriate. We'd love to show you through on a private inspection so please contact Jill on 0412 672 905 or Michael on 0418 120 771 to arrange a suitable time.
