This extraordinary historic church has been masterfully reimagined into a residence of rare architectural distinction, where heritage grandeur meets contemporary luxury under the vision of Architect James Jamieson.
Originally established in 1853, the magnificent church building that followed in 1859 remains a testament to the craftsmanship and spirit of the local community. Today, that legacy lives on through a breathtaking transformation that honours its past while embracing sophisticated modern living.
At its centre is a remarkable four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence defined by scale, light and timeless materials. Soaring cathedral ceilings and original Baltic pine floors preserve the building's historic character, while polished concrete, plush carpeting and rendered brick introduce refined contemporary texture throughout the interiors.
Expansive open-plan living areas are framed by dramatic architectural arches and magnificent original stained-glass windows, casting shifting colours across the home and creating an atmosphere that is both grand and serene. Every space has been carefully curated with bespoke finishes and premium fittings, delivering exceptional comfort within an unforgettable setting.
A spectacular internal courtyard forms the heart of the home, designed for year-round entertaining and quiet retreat. A dramatic six-metre statement door opens onto this private sanctuary, flooding the interiors with natural light and reinforcing the home's extraordinary scale.
Adding further versatility, a separate studio-style apartment above the garage provides the perfect space for a teenager's retreat, creative studio or inspiring work-from-home environment complete with its own bathroom, bedroom and living area.
An infrared sauna within the courtyard introduces an additional layer of private luxury.
Landscaped gardens create a tranquil outdoor sanctuary, central heating, air-conditioning and secure parking for two vehicles ensures convenience matches the home's refined style.
Positioned moments from Ballarat's CBD, cafés and leading schools, this remarkable residence offers a rare opportunity to secure one of Ballarat's most distinctive properties.
Perfectly positioned as a luxury Airbnb or boutique short-stay investment.
A landmark home of history, scale and extraordinary design
