Once in a lifetime!

WHAT WE LOVE<br/>The Old Church (circa 1873) has undergone an Architect designed, award winning renovation, to complement and utilise the natural surroundings. It sits on almost an acre (3300m2) of delightful gardens with lovely views to the surrounding farmland. The church building, which showcases many original features, offers a large living space where you can entertain or just quietly read a book by the fire. The custom-made kitchen includes stone benchtops, an Ilve stove, and polished granite splashbacks. The home includes four bedrooms, the main with a walk-in robe and ensuite with french doors leading to a private courtyard. With multiple living areas, this property could provide a unique B&B retreat. Located opposite the award-winning Mayfield Vineyard, it's an easy 10-minute drive to the city limits of Orange and 18 minutes to the airport. This home is like no other, it is a gorgeous place to live.<br/><br/>WHAT YOU'LL LOVE<br/>- Original 1873 Basalt stone Weslyan / Methodist church<br/>- Architect designed extensions, award winning<br/>- Large 3300m2 level block<br/>- Cathedral ceilings<br/>- North facing living areas<br/>- Four bedrooms<br/>- Main bedroom with walk-in robe and ensuite<br/>- Kitchen with stone benchtops, Ilve stove and Miele dishwasher plus granite splashbacks<br/>- Enclosed and private courtyard.<br/>- Separate laundry<br/>- Underfloor heating (partial), 2 wood combustion fires<br/>- Circular driveway with plenty of room for parking<br/>- includes Original 1873 handwritten and wax sealed title deeds, Original Etsy Organ from the USA, bibles, hymn books, and prayer books with the old church<br/>- Double garage and extra garden sheds for storage<br/>- Refurbished bore<br/>- Established garden including weeping cherries, silver birch and maples plus stone walls<br/>- Water tanks, 10k litre underground tank for irrigated garden<br/>- Many custom made features throughout<br/><br/>WHAT THE OWNERS LOVE<br/>I feel privileged to live in a historic house with direct links to the first payable gold in the colony. There are several areas of repose in the refurbished garden and beautiful unobstructed views over rolling farmland (without the hard work of maintaining a larger plot). The private cloistered courtyard is the perfect place to sit and enjoy a coffee or to read a good book. The home has a sublime character and only an 8 minute drive to Orange. <br/><br/>RATES: $124.20 per quarter<br/>ESTIMATED RENTAL RETURN: $850 per week<br/>
