SOME properties are defined by their location, others by their architecture. Occasionally, a property comes to market that offers something far more difficult to replicate – a genuine sense of history and place.

The Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel at 3 Thone Street, Comboyne is one such property.

Built circa 1917 and lovingly preserved by its current owners, this remarkable former church has been part of the fabric of the Comboyne community for more than a century.

Today, it presents a rare opportunity for a new owner to become the custodian of an important local landmark while imagining an entirely new chapter for the property.

Set on an elevated 2251sqm corner allotment, with frontage to Thone and Hill Streets and rear laneway access, the property enjoys beautiful northern views across the rolling countryside of the Comboyne Plateau.

Yet it is inside where the building truly captures the imagination.

Soaring cathedral ceilings crafted from rosewood and selected hardwoods create an extraordinary sense of space, while magnificent, original stained-glass windows, polished timber floors and a locally crafted altar provide a wonderful connection to the building’s past.

Thoughtfully adapted over the years, the former church now provides two bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom and covered verandah, surrounded by established trees, landscaped gardens and expansive lawns.

A small craft studio nestled within the gardens adds another dimension to this unique offering.

Importantly, the property carries RU5 Village zoning and is not heritage listed, creating an exciting range of possibilities for its next owner, subject to council approval.

It could become an extraordinary private residence, artist’s retreat, gallery, boutique accommodation, wellness space, café or perhaps something entirely different.

Ultimately, a building this unique invites its next owner to bring their own vision.

Approximately one hour from Port Macquarie, Comboyne is renowned for its rich volcanic farmland, cool mountain climate, rainforest, waterfalls and beautiful rural scenery.

Opportunities to purchase properties with this degree of history, character and individuality are exceptionally rare.

The Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is being offered with a price guide of $795,000, with an open inspection this Saturday, 15 August, from 12 noon to 1pm.
