Three on the market in Queensland right now were priced from $150,000 — for a fixer-upper church three hours from Brisbane, to $250,000 two hours away and about $660,000 an hour and a half away from the capital.

Among the oldest renovated church homes on the market right now was a five bedroom, three bathroom property built in 1885 which is on the market for offers over $659,000.

The former “St Thomas” Church at 2B Allan Street, North Toowoomba, was being marketed as being “a sign from above” by agent Robbie Witt of Colliers International Residential — Toowoomba.

“If you are sick and tired of spending your Saturdays looking around the same brick boxes, and feel like you’re a square peg being forced into a round hole, this property is the answer.”

He said it was a “multi-year renovation that saw the home also end up with a separate office and four living spaces.

“As well as beautiful cottage style gardens (with original lychgate) and off street parking for three cars, you get all the grandeur you would expect from a previous place of worship.”

He said original features could be seen everywhere from the lead glass to heavy oak entry door, pointed stained glassed windows, original timber floors, and soaring 6.3m vaulted ceilings.

Another church on the market was at lot 124 Barron Street, Hendon — nicknamed The Vatican — that’s priced at $250,000.

The three bedroom, two bathroom, three car space acreage property was 116 years old, according to agent Mark Mauch of Southern Downs Realty — Warwick.

“Built in Warwick in 1901, and named Williams Hall the building was moved to its current location from the Uniting Church grounds in Guy Street Warwick in 1998,” was how he described it in his listing.

The former church was on a large 1.9 acres across three titles 15 minutes north of Warwick and 40 minutes south of Toowoomba.

Among the original features that are outstanding were the original arch doors and stained glass windows.

In Goomeri, three hours northwest of Brisbane, a renovated church that was built in 1950 has hit the market.

Agents Margaret and Gary Long of Murgon Real Estate — Murgon were looking for a price of just $150,000 for the property at 28 Jones Street.

The four bedroom, two bathroom, triple car space converted church home was on a large 1,012sq m block of land.

“This church has been carefully converted and extended to a comfortable four bedroom home,” was how it was described.

Some original features were retained and the home has polished timber floors, large open plan living, a rear deck and a two bay lockable garage with carport.
