Property Details for 31 Church Rd, Gretna
Last Listing description (July 2024)
The romantic notion of owning a historic Gothic Revival church in the country is a reality here in the picturesque rolling hills of Gretna and the small community it rests within. From a bygone era, built in 1848, this Church of St Mary the Virgin and surrounding ACTIVE cemetery (to be managed by the new owners), offers an unique opportunity to explore how you might convert/use this very special former church (STCA) to highlight the historic and heritage significance of the property while respecting the families and community who may visit and have loved ones resting inside the cemetery grounds. There is a well documented history on both the St Mary the Virgin Church itself and some of the many hundreds of people from all walks of life who have been laid to rest in this peaceful cemetery.
Zoned Rural and set on approx. 2 acres of gently sloping land, any changes to this special property requires all necessary approvals from Heritage Tasmania and the Central Highlands Council.
Close to 45 minutes drive to Hobart, this heritage church is not for the faint hearted and does requires work! The thick stone walls were predominantly used and sources locally while the timber furnishings inside were hand carved by leading female woodcarver, Ellen Nora Payne, who was responsible for some of Tasmania's finest 20th century church carvings. Stained glass windows with cusped heads and either arched or rectangular carved label mouldings above, exposed timber rafters and braced collar ties in the roof structure and cement imitation tiles on the roof,are some of the unique features that make this building so historic and fascinating when you consider the times it was built and the challenges faced in do so.
Power is connected to the church but there are no additional services or amenities on site at this stage. The successful purchaser will also be required to Apply for a Cemetery Managers' Licence as part of the contract conditions.
Call us today to talk about how you can become the new Cemetery Manager and owner of this very special property, approximately 50 kilometres from Hobart.
