SOLD OFF MARKET BY BARBARA BURSTALL - HOTSPOT REALTY BUNDABERG
Delivered a successful off-market result by tapping into my extensive network and connecting the right buyer seamlessly.
Opportunities like this are incredibly rare—this beautifully preserved former church is brimming with character and waiting for someone with vision to restore, repurpose, or reimagine it into something truly special.
Set on a spacious 1,012sqm fully fenced block, this property boasts stunning original features including high ceilings, polished hardwood floors, and gorgeous stained glass windows that fill the space with warmth and light. Whether you're looking to create a unique home, artist’s studio, or extend (subject to Council approval), the possibilities are endless.
A modest kitchenette area at the rear provides the foundation for future improvements, and the sale includes all original paintings and items related to the church, offering an authentic touch of history and charm. There's even an outdoor toilet, gravity-fed water tank, septic system, and low council rates (approx. $850 per half-year)—keeping maintenance affordable while you bring your vision to life. Also the added bonus of new stumps, roof and gutters.
Zoned rural, the property offers the potential to add sheds or other structures, subject to Council approvals. Surrounded by peaceful countryside and backing onto picturesque rural landscapes, it provides the perfect setting for those looking to escape the ordinary.
