A piece of history in the popular Sunshine Coast hinterland township of Eumundi has changed hands recently in a campaign managed by LJ Hooker Commercial Sunshine Coast.
The former Presbyterian Church at 123 Memorial Drive recently sold for $710,000 through agents David C Smith and Mike Stewart.
The 240sqm church building, which sits on a 1040sqm site, was sold as private possession.
“Situated on an elevated hill on Memorial Drive, which is the main thoroughfare of Eumundi, the property offers exceptional exposure,” said Mr Smith.
“The famous Eumundi Markets are less than 300 metres away, attracting thousands of locals every Wednesday and day tippers from Brisbane on Saturdays.
“It’s been somewhat of a landmark driving in and out of Eumundi ever since the early 1900s and attracted a lot of interest as a result.”
The building has retained much of its century-old character including raw-timber lined walls sourced from local mills and ornate, stained-glass windows in the portico. It has a kitchen, shed and external toilet facilities.
Mr Smith said the purchaser – a private investor - had not yet finalised plans for the future of the site but there were broad opportunities for improvements on the western side of the property, subject to council approval.
“The site carries a wide range of opportunities, with multiple foyers, a large main meeting room, two smaller meeting rooms and a fourth room which opens out to the backyard,” said Mr Smith.
“We fielded enquiries for a lot of different professional and service-based uses.”
