A bare bones property has hit the market and requires some serious grit and divine inspiration.
The former Anglican church at 32 Peake Street in Karoonda, South Australia, is on the market for just $88,000, no doubt due to the fact that it’s missing two key rooms.
Listed by Nutrien Harcourts, the property is a blank canvas with “no kitchen, bathroom or toilet”, but could be a dream church conversion with grand plans put in place.
The property comprises of two buildings, the main church and vestry, on a decent-sized allotment.
As stated on the listing, both buildings “require some work” with cracks visible in the stone and original limestone walls.
In some photos, scaffolding has even been used to prop up the walls.
The corrugated iron roofs and jarrah flooring could do with an upgrade, and the grass is also thin and patchy.
Although a serious renovation is needed, there is potential, with church conversions always coming onto the market
The properties are unique as they often merge elements of church design, including large stained glass windows and arched doorways, with contemporary fixtures.
Karoonda is a town in the Murray Mallee region of South Australia and is about 150km from Adelaide.
It has a population of just 518 and an average age demographic of 60 and above.
