A unique property comprising the former Laang Uniting Church (circa 1890) and an additional separate cottage on 1.69Ha, both re-wired and fully insulated with double glazing, offers a chance to enjoy something different.

Located just 8 kms from Garvoc, the property is within 3 kms of the Cobden-Warrnambool road with a 29km run from there to Warrnambool.

Whilst still retaining many authentic features such as classic church windows, gleaming hardwood floors and Baltic pine lining boards, the former Church has been skillfully modernised to offer very comfortable living on two levels.

The lower level offers a light filled living area with a gas heater, high ceilings, pine lining boards, polished floorboards, ceiling fans and chandelier lighting in keeping with the period.
Wide sliding doors offer an easy transition to the sheltered deck with a generous span of space protected by a wide pergola.

The large country style Kitchen skillfully marries the historic and the modern with an optimum use of space.
Wide windows let in plenty of light, with floor to ceiling double glazing bringing the gardens inside.
The large gas cooking range with its matching range hood is an eye-catcher and is perfectly matched by the double sink with its unique tap fitting set into an island bench with a dishwasher underneath.
Unique choices of lighting and fittings make the area special, with ample space for both a Kitchen table as well as a Dining setting within the area.

With 2 Bedrooms on offer at the main house, the Master Bedroom is set on a mezzanine level accessed by a timber staircase.
Pine lining boards and overhead rafters give a unique character to the room, with a wraparound balcony offering a great vantage point.
The second Bedroom is located on ground level, with a warm colour scheme offset by black blinds.
The modern Bathroom has tessellated tiling, a shower, vanity and toilet.

Additional living space for family and friends is provided by the Cottage situated just next to the tennis court offering a living area with wood burner, 2 bedrooms and a modern bathroom with bath, shower, elegant vanity and toilet on the lower level and an attic bedroom/children’s play area on the upper level.
A wide verandah offers a spot to sit and watch matches in progress!
An above ground swimming pool is positioned just adjoining the tennis court, with a good view of the neighbouring orchard, raised vegetable garden beds and sheltering eucalypts.

Centrally located between Warrnambool, Terang and Great Ocean Road, the property has high rainfall with 9000 gallons of storage plus bore water with taps everywhere.
The mature gardens have an extensive fruit orchard including a mix of fruit, nut and berry plantings, vegetable gardens, an octagonal shade house/hot house, a water feature and an ornamental fish pond, all well protected from wind and weather by large eucalypt plantations and hedges all around.

A double car port, chook pen, wood shed, garden shed and compost bins are welcome additions to the property, enabling one to live a more sustainable lifestyle, with an electric boundary fence also in place.
The property also has good satellite internet.

On the look out for something unique with historical value but without the hard yards required to convert a dream into a reality!!
