Steeped in history and beautifully reimagined for modern living, The Old Church (circa 1873) is a truly remarkable home. Set on nearly an acre of enchanting, established gardens with sweeping farmland views, this architect-designed and award-winning residence seamlessly blends timeless character with contemporary comfort.
The original basalt stone Wesleyan/Methodist church remains the heart of the property, showcasing soaring cathedral ceilings and sun-filled, north-facing living spaces. The expansive open-plan area provides an impressive setting for entertaining, while custom details throughout highlight the home's individuality and warmth.
At its centre lies a beautifully crafted kitchen with stone benchtops, a premium Ilve stove, Miele dishwasher, and polished granite splashbacks. Flowing effortlessly into the living and dining zones, it's ideal for family gatherings and entertaining friends.
The home features four bedrooms, offering flexibility for families or those envisioning a boutique B&B retreat. The main suite is a private sanctuary with a walk-in robe, ensuite, and French doors opening to a secluded courtyard-perfect for morning coffee or quiet reflection.
Comfort and functionality have been thoughtfully considered, with underfloor heating (in selected zones), reverse-cycle air conditioning, and two wood combustion fireplaces. A separate laundry, ample storage including three walk-in robes, and multiple living areas further enhance liveability.
Outdoors, the magic continues with beautifully landscaped grounds supported by a refurbished bore and 10,000-litre underground water tank. Mature trees-such as weeping cherries, silver birches, and maples-combine with charming stone walls and irrigated gardens to create a tranquil retreat. A circular driveway, double garage, and additional sheds ensure ample parking and practicality.
Adding to its rich heritage, the property retains rare original artefacts including the 1873 handwritten and wax-sealed title deeds, an Estey Organ from the USA, and historic bibles, hymn and prayer books-a remarkable connection to its storied past.
Perfectly positioned opposite the award-winning Mayfield Vineyard and only eight minutes from the Orange city limits, The Old Church offers a rare balance of privacy, history, and convenience.
The current owners describe living here as a privilege-surrounded by beauty, tranquillity, and a tangible sense of history. From peaceful garden nooks to the intimate courtyard, every corner invites you to pause and appreciate the serenity.
