Properties like this simply do not come along very often.
Originally built in 1925 by the local Orielton community as the area's schoolhouse, this remarkable building later became St Stephen's Anglican Church before eventually evolving into the unique lifestyle property it is today.
Set on approximately 2,897sqm of Rural zoned land with excellent fencing, established surrounds and a peaceful semi-rural setting, this is the kind of property that instantly sparks imagination. Whether you are searching for a character-filled home, an unforgettable Airbnb opportunity, an artist's retreat, studio space or simply something wonderfully different from the ordinary, this property offers a rare chance to own a true conversation piece.
From the moment you arrive, the charm is undeniable. The white weatherboard exterior, original church windows, stained and coloured glass details, timber-lined spaces and soaring ceilings all combine to create a home filled with warmth, personality and history. Inside, the former chapel space remains the heart of the home, with its open proportions, beautiful natural light and wood heater creating a space that feels both calming and inspiring.
The kitchen and bathroom spaces embrace the property's quirky personality, while outside there is ample room to further enhance the grounds, create gardens, accommodate animals or simply enjoy the freedom that comes with a generous parcel of land.
The property also includes substantial shedding, solar panels and multiple water tanks, blending practicality with the unmistakable charm of its historic origins.
Importantly, while rich in local history, the property is not subject to a Historic Heritage Overlay and is zoned Rural under Sorell Council, offering buyers flexibility that is often difficult to find with properties of this nature.
Long-time locals still remember stories of when children rode horses here to attend school, and while much of old Orielton disappeared following the 1967 bushfires, this beautiful building remains as a rare piece of the area's story.
Some properties are simply houses.
Others leave an impression long after you've walked through them.
This is one of those properties.
