Former Sacred Heart Catholic Church at Deuchar back on the market after losing out at auction

A once well-loved place of worship in regional Queensland has landed back on the market after falling short at auction, and it’s going for less than the average price of a house.

The historic former Sacred Heart Catholic Church at Deuchar remains on the market after not reaching asking price at an auction earlier in March.

A more than century-year-old former Catholic Church is still on the market after not reaching asking price at a recent auction.

The charming Southern Downs church sold for $385,000 in 2021 and is now back on the market and seeking an eager buyer to reinvent the wheel.

Colliers Toowoomba listing agent Phoebe Young said the current owners decided to hang up their hats on their project and pass the opportunity on.

Inside the more than century year old church, still beaming with potential.

Ms Young said the property passed in at $400,000 at the auction with around 25 interested buyers showing up on the day.

“We’ve had a few serious offers (since the auction) but they haven’t quite met the asking price,” Ms Young said.

The property boasts a range of opportunities, with interested parties floating ideas such as a wedding venue, coffee shop, Airbnb and dwelling.

Ms Young said it’s just a matter of time before the right buyer comes along.

The historic building is now on the market for offers over $499,000, see the full listing here.
