Nelligen 1 Runnyford Road

If you're drawn to striking architecture, timeless craftsmanship, and one-of-a-kind spaces, this extraordinary property will speak to your soul.

Once St Joseph's Roman Catholic Church (circa 1896), this gothic-style treasure—infused with a touch of Tuscany—has been artfully and lovingly restored into a unique residence. Every detail honours the building's original character, from the soaring ceilings to the intricate stained glass, hardwood floors, and granite footings. The copper bell tower and spire still crown the structure, a nod to its past and a beacon for its future. This is more than just a home — it's a lifestyle experience. Wake to the sound of bellbirds, wander down along the river at sunset, or spend weekends exploring. In Nelligen, life moves at just the right pace — peaceful, creative, and deeply connected to river, nature and community.

Stepping inside feels like crossing into a forgotten chapter of time, rich with history, beauty and soul. Thoughtfully converted and designed open-plan living space, loft-style bedroom, themed kitchen and a stunning garden terrace that invites creativity and calm, set on 1,588m2 with established gardens, shrubs and trees.

Set just 300m from the banks of the Clyde River with panoramic views of the Budawang Ranges, this property balances tranquillity with opportunity. The charming village of Nelligen offers a vibrant café scene, local markets, kayaking, boat ramps, and the famous Steampacket Hotel. Only 8 minutes to Batemans Bay, 2 hours to Canberra, or 3.5 hours to Sydney—this is a destination and a sanctuary.

A soulful home, a creative haven, or an inspired investment—what will you make of it?
