Carlton River TAS 7173

Proudly standing, commanding attention and boasting the most divine uninterrupted vista - taking in the picturesque Carlton River, surrounding farmlets and hillocks, is the shell of the 1840's non-denominational stone chapel with gabled roof, boxed eaves and ashlar sandstone quoin work and reveals. If only the walls could talk.This area was once the hotspot of Carlton River, a known place for locals to gather with a fresh water creek nearby used to water stock on their forward or return journey. The land was gifted to the church by Hugh McGinness. The heritage listed chapel is of significance due to its ability to demonstrate the principle characteristic of a rubble sandstone Old Colonial Georgian ecclesiastical building. It has had many uses over the years, church, school house to name a few. Since the mid 1970's the property has been fondly held with ground maintenance and a new roof in 1994- but now it is time for someone else to hold the reins and love this property as the current owner has. On offer is a blank canvas for someone to either restore or maintain. This acre of land is gently sloping and has some basic fencing in place.Often sought -seldom found-buy your own piece of Tasmanian history and continue the story.
