38 High Street

Phone Enquiry ID: 234009 A unique piece of the district's history is on offer in Macarthur, only 1/2 hour drive from Port Fairy, providing the purchaser endless opportunities. 138 years after its construction, the St Malachy's Catholic Church is now ready to take on a new lease of life, a conversion limited only by the buyers imagination. The main portion of the church building was constructed in 1887 from local volcanic stone, quarried from a nearby property, while a later addition at the main entrance is of bluestone construction. The building showcases stunning Gothic style elements including stained glass windows, vaulted ceiling and pointed arch windows. Rich in history. Sitting on 1.09 Acres or 4421 square metres. RENOVATIONS: The church has now been renovated, it only needs external plumbing, wiring, plastering and tiling, then fit off. Our circumstances have changed and not finishing it off is heart breaking. HISTORY OF RENOVATIONS: The church now has 5 bedrooms, behind the kitchen is a fully disabled bedroom and bathroom, all bedrooms are roughly 6.1 metre by 4.5 metre's, including the bathrooms. Water has been connected to the church and mains power has been updated from the street and a new metre box and breakers have been installed. The church has two kitchens, the main kitchen is in the Vestry, It will be a fully compliant commercial kitchen with stainless benches sinks and fridge. THE DESIGN: Part owner of the church is Alex Devantier, he is a qualified interior architect and the design is breath taking, with 10.5 metre ceiling at the ridge, the design begged for a mezzanine. Alex took this to a new level with the 8 metre long gang way, joining three of the upstairs bedrooms, with voids either side, looking up to the 10.5 metre ridge. COMPLIANCE: Surveyors are in place, council have agreed to the driveway, the septic system and are happy working with the surveyors, all reports and documentation are available upon request to genuinely interested parties. HANDOVER: Patricia and Alex want to see the building complete, with the sale an agreement can be made, that ensures Alex helps with the completion of the build, the amount of input depends on the new owners requests.
