Finding a church for sale in Ontario is not common but there have been a few on the market.

Several churches have come up for sale recently including some that need a bit of work, churches that are small, and historic churches for low prices.

It was the home of the Woodford United Church, founded in 1872 and constructed in 1905, according to realtor Vivienne Bent with Royal LePage Locations North.

There is a plaque outside the home's main entrance.

The United Church ran regular services from 1925 until it was decommissioned in 2005.

The current owner meticulously converted and renovated the church with attention to detail, Bent says. The owner kept original heritage pieces such as a green stained glass window, which is now an art piece on the wall. There is also a church plaque outside the door.

Local reputed craftsmen and tradespeople were used in the upgrades, Bent says.

Although the home is listed as in Meaford, it is actually in the hamlet of Woodford. For those who like winter sports, it is a short drive to Beaver Valley Ski Club and The Blue Mountains. It is also a short drive to Georgian Bay for watersports in the summer.
