Owning a historic country chapel can now become a reality in the beautiful rural landscape of Lawitta, 35 minutes' drive from Hobart and 5 minutes' drive past New Norfolk. Built in 1837, there is well documented history on both the Old Colonial Georgian sandstone building and the many people from all walks of life who have been laid to rest in this peaceful cemetery. Here, you have a rare and unique opportunity to convert this sandstone chapel (now deconsecrated), into a weekender, community centre or home away from home, subject to council approval. Inside, the chapel is open plan with amazing blind Gothic lancet openings, exposed timber trusses set amidst a vaulted timber ceiling, period altar & pulpit, beautiful stonework and original pews. Set back from the road with a landscape of established trees and a tranquil backdrop of rolling hilltops, this property will leave a lasting impression on you and really offers a unique and exciting opportunity to a creative buyer who wants to own an irreplaceable part of Tasmanian history. The new purchaser will need to make an application to become the new Cemetery Manager as per the Burial & Cremations Act 2019 to be endorsed as the new caretaker of this special property. Please note there are NO bedrooms (one open plan space), NO bathrooms or running water at this property.
