Rich in history and thoughtfully reimagined, this distinctive former church presents a rare opportunity to secure a character-filled family home unlike anything else in the Eungai Rail village. Originally built in 1910 at Jerseyville as Our Lady of Dolours Catholic Church, the building served its original community for decades before being carefully relocated to Eungai Rail in the early 1950s following major flooding along the Macleay River. That relocation marked the beginning of its next chapter, where it continued as a local landmark and became part of the village's architectural fabric.
Today, the home has been carefully transformed to honour its origins while delivering comfort, functionality, and warmth for modern living. From the moment you enter, the sense of scale and craftsmanship is immediately apparent, with an expansive open-plan living and lounge area that forms the heart of the home. Soaring ceilings, reclaimed timber detailing, and the original church flooring create a welcoming atmosphere, with the recently re-sanded and polished timber floors sealed to a high-quality polyurethane finish. A centrally positioned combustible fireplace anchors the main living space, providing both ambience and practical heating.
The home offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, each fitted with built-in robes finished to a high standard. Timber-lined walls showcase red mahogany throughout, with cypress pine highlights adding character and warmth, particularly in the main bedroom. The kitchen is designed in a bay-style layout that complements the home's character while remaining functional for everyday living, connecting seamlessly to the dining area and large covered alfresco for relaxed entertaining. The bathroom is a true standout, featuring a freestanding Balinese stone bath that adds a strong sense of luxury and individuality.
Outdoor living is further enhanced by a swimming pool, creating a private and inviting space to enjoy the warmer months. Importantly, an older approved building approval exists for a second-level extension, and the rear foundation has already been upgraded to support future expansion, offering genuine scope for further development subject to council requirements.
Despite its peaceful village setting, the property is exceptionally well positioned for lifestyle convenience, with the Macleay River and Grassy Head front and back beaches approximately a 12-minute drive away, and access to a further dozen or more Mid North Coast beaches within around 30 minutes. Practicality is also well catered for, with the large rear shed offering space suitable for up to four vehicles, ideal for storage, workshops, or hobby use. Adding to everyday convenience, school bus pick-up is available directly from the front gate, servicing both Eungai Primary School and Macksville High School.
