The chapel house last changed hands seven years ago in 2018. Since then, the owners have injected new life into the property, freshening up the interiors and painting the window-frames a distinctive shade of butter-yellow. 

“Over the years Tasmania has become a sought-after destination for travellers seeking unique, immersive experiences and this home offers exactly that,” the listing says. 

“Its breathtaking mountain views, stunning natural surroundings and distinctive design make it an ideal candidate for a successful Airbnb venture.” 

The property is located on the edge of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, one of the largest national parks in Australia.

With no light pollution, it’s possible to see the Aurora Australis from the property on clear winter nights. 

During the coldest months, visitors can watch snow fall over the Snowy Ranges from the cathedral windows. 

In the wrong hands the design could become too eccentric, but the owners have pared the interiors back with a muted palette of white paint and clear glass. 

All attention is directed outwards through the arched windows to the panoramic mountain views.

Outside, there are 85 acres of unspoilt bushland which is home to Tasmanian Devils, spotted quolls, echidnas, wombats, wallabies and eagles. 

“Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat or an investment in Tasmania’s growing tourism industry, this property offers an exceptional opportunity to embrace the best of both worlds,” the listing says. 

The property is on the market with Ed McKay from New Haus Agency for offers over $1,120,000.
