CONTACT AGENT FOR A PRIVATE VIEWING - Introducing a truly unique and rare opportunity to own a piece of history—801 Traeger Road in Grace Plains. Originally built in 1910, this charming church has been thoughtfully transformed into a stunning three-bedroom residence, seamlessly blending heritage architecture with modern living. Recently renovated and now back on the market, the property has seen extensive upgrades, including a new 6.6kW solar panel system, a brand-new roof, and numerous interior and exterior improvements that enhance its appeal.
Upon entering, you’ll immediately feel the character of this home. The main residence boasts three spacious bedrooms, each refreshed with new carpeting, and an upstairs bathroom that has been completely remodelled. With combustion heating and a split system, comfort is ensured year-round. Unique period features are preserved, such as the press iron roofing in the upstairs area, adding an authentic touch to the modernized interiors. The kitchen is neat, stylish, and fully equipped with contemporary amenities, including a dishwasher, making it both functional and charming.
The 3rd bedroom has a full wall mural of artwork which was done by a well-known artist – Marie Jonnson-Harrison, who once lived in this home, which gives it an extra special touch of irreplaceable history.
A fully fenced and secure yard also features another open shed area and an entertaining carport space. Five minutes to Malala, Thirty minutes from Gawler and 52 minutes to Adelaide’s CBD via freeway.
A key feature of this property is the historic church hall, which has been meticulously restored to unlock its incredible potential. Previously, the hall faced significant structural challenges, with buckled walls and worn flooring that required comprehensive renovations. These issues have been resolved, with all walls repaired and the original floorboards polished to a high standard. Now a blank canvas, the hall opens up an array of possibilities—it could serve as a Bed and Breakfast, a creative studio, a gallery, or even a quaint café. With the advantage of a busy road at the front, the hall holds immense potential to attract passersby intrigued by its unique charm and history.
The property sits on an expansive 2,452m² (approx.) allotment, offering plenty of space, privacy, and picturesque surroundings. Tucked away from neighbouring properties, it provides an ideal sanctuary while still being easily accessible. Between the main residence and the church hall, there’s a lovely outdoor entertaining area, perfect for gatherings, casual dining, or simply relaxing while soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. The grounds also include ample shedding and a woodshed with power, providing useful storage and workshop space.
Since it was last on the market two years ago, this property has undergone a remarkable transformation. Every inch has been carefully upgraded, making it ready to welcome new owners who will appreciate both its historic significance and its modern comforts. The combination of the beautifully converted church house, the versatile church hall, and the spacious, private land makes this property not only a unique residence but a rare investment opportunity.
Whether you envision it as a family home with historic charm, an artistic retreat, or a venture into hospitality, 801 Traeger Road is a truly one-of-a-kind property that offers endless possibilities and a chance to own a piece of Grace Plains history.
