"Old Hovells Creek Church", 2761 Frogmore Road, Hovells Creek NSW 2794

Your Historic Haven?

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.
