C1856 CHURCH RUINS ON 4067M2 LAND Discover a unique opportunity to own a piece of local history with the iconic "Sheoak Hill Congregational Church," possibly the first permanent church built in Inman Valley circa 1856. Nestled on approximately 4067m2 (about 1 acre), this historic property offers a glimpse into the past and a canvas for future dreams.
Once a vibrant community hub, the church continued to serve until 1905, after which it was repurposed as stables following the removal of its roof. Today, the ruins stand as a testament to its storied past, complemented by an encumbrance protecting a small corner section housing a remaining 5 historic headstones in a tiny cemetery.
The property benefits from modern conveniences with power readily available via an onsite power pole and Telstra fibre optical cable underground along the road. Well-fenced on three sides, the land offers a serene backdrop with sweeping vistas across expansive paddocks to the picturesque, tree-dotted hills of Back Valley.
Whether you envision restoring the church ruins to their former glory or creating a new vision amid this historic setting, the possibilities are boundless. Imagine crafting a private retreat or establishing a permanent residence in harmony with the tranquil surroundings.
Don't miss out on this extraordinary chance to be a part of the benevolent Back Valley/Inman Valley community and to preserve a slice of local heritage. Embrace the charm of yesteryear with the promise of a fulfilling lifestyle amidst breathtaking natural beauty. Price Guide $370,000 - $400,000.
