Riddells Creek, VIC 3431

Held quietly within the heart of Riddells Creek, this remarkable former church offers a unique and compelling opportunity to create a landmark lifestyle residence or pursue a considered redevelopment, subject to council approval. The property is defined by its rich history, impressive scale, and extraordinary potential.

Serving the Riddells Creek community since 1864, the church was originally established at a different location before being thoughtfully relocated to its current site, where it remains an enduring local icon. The building features striking period architecture, including its original bell tower, a steeply pitched gabled roof, and a collection of stunning, unique stained glass windows that infuse the interior with vibrant colour and character.

Set on approximately 4,082 square metres of established grounds, the property offers both substantial land and versatile use options. The main church building is complemented by a separate meeting hall, completed in the mid-1990s, which includes kitchen and bathroom facilities, further enhancing the scope for transformation or future use.

The scale and presence of the existing structures invite a design-led residential conversion of distinction, subject to council approval, while also presenting an opportunity for a thoughtful and well-considered redevelopment that respects the site's history and setting. The potential outcome could be an extraordinary home of scale, soul, and architectural significance, or an inspired new chapter for this unique site.

Positioned within easy reach of Melbourne and surrounded by the natural beauty of the Macedon Ranges, this rare opportunity allows the acquisition of a blue-chip landholding with the chance to reimagine a meaningful piece of Riddells Creek’s history into something truly exceptional.
