Rich in history, personality and thoughtful craftsmanship, this remarkable property is far more than a beautifully renovated home. Centred around a former church and complemented by a striking contemporary extension, it brings together original character, considered architectural design and wonderfully versatile living, all within established grounds designed for entertaining, relaxing and family life.
The original church has been sensitively restored and reimagined, preserving the character and history that make it so special while adapting beautifully to modern life. Original and repurposed elements sit alongside considered updates, creating a space that feels both authentic and entirely at home in the present.
Flowing seamlessly from the original building, the contemporary extension introduces expansive open-plan living with soaring proportions, beautiful natural materials and a warmth that complements the home's historic character. At its heart, an impressive kitchen and generous butler's pantry anchor the main living and entertaining spaces, while multiple living zones provide plenty of room to gather or retreat.
Accommodation within the main residence comprises three generous bedrooms, including a private master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite. Adding significant versatility is a completely separate studio with its own bathroom/laundry, offering a flexible space for a home office, creative pursuits, recreation or a private retreat.
Outside, the lifestyle offering is equally impressive. A large covered alfresco entertaining area with built-in barbecue overlooks the resort-style swimming pool, while beautifully established gardens incorporate a dedicated vegetable garden, yard and thoughtfully created treetop-style play area, creating a setting designed to be enjoyed by the whole family.
The property's history has been cleverly woven into the landscape rather than discarded. Original bricks from the property have been repurposed to edge garden pathways, while timber from the old outhouse has been reused in the mezzanine. The extension itself is wrapped in recycled Blackbutt cladding, charred using the traditional Japanese Shou Sugi Ban method before being stabilised, creating its distinctive black exterior.
Every element has been considered with respect for the property's past and an appreciation for contemporary living. The result is an exceptional fusion of history and modern design — distinctive, welcoming and designed to be enjoyed for years to come.
