Description

Step into history with this breathtaking former church sitting on 1.5 acres, a proud symbol of Acadian heritage and craftsmanship. Constructed over a 32-year period from 1910 to 1942, this architectural gem is built from more than 8,000 hand-laid granite blocks. A true labor of love, the structure blends enduring strength with timeless beauty-featuring a metal framework between the granite exterior and interior plaster walls. Deconsecrated for the past three years, the building offers endless potential for reimagining-whether as a unique residence, cultural venue, studio, or community space. Inside, you'll find mainly hardwood floors throughout, adding warmth and character to the grand interiors. Originally heated with a wood furnace, then coal, and now oil, the property retains its original charm. Whether you're drawn to its history, stonework, or sheer presence, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a building rich in culture, faith, and Acadian legacy. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of history.
