Built from granite between 1878 and 1880 and listed with the National Trust in 2016, 'Old Hovells Creek Church' sits on 2.63ha* (6.5 acres*) midway between Boorowa and Cowra.
The restored interior features the original altar, communion rail, confessional, floors and windows under a soaring 6m* cedar ceiling. A mezzanine bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and laundry render it fully liveable. Thick stone walls, the wood fire and a new Daikin reverse-cycle air conditioning system keep it comfortable all year round.
A Michael Bligh-designed garden, which affords stunning views of the valley below, comprises a cottage garden surrounding the church and its two stone terraces, as well as a hillside sculpture park bordered by woodland. The area is a haven for birdlife, with around 60* species found locally, including the threatened Superb Parrot, Wedge-tailed Eagles, Scarlet and Flame Robins in winter, and Rainbow Bee-eaters in summer.
After 10 years, the owners are selling to pursue other heritage projects.
