A church in Simsbury has been sold for $750,000 following declining membership, according to a broker involved in the sale.
Ieke and Mark Scully, of Simsbury, have bought the 8,213-square-foot building on 8.5 acres at 7 Wescott Road from the Shepard of the Hills Evangelical Lutheran Church, according to Bob Gaucher, a senior commercial specialist with broker O,R&L Commercial.
“Due to declining membership, the church decided to sell the property and merge their congregation with another church,” O,R&L said. “Ieke and Mark Scully recognized that the church property had serviced the community well and they purchased the property in hopes of finding a use that would continue to serve the community.”
It wasn’t immediately clear what the Scullys might do with the property.
Richard Correia, executive vice president of commercial brokerage RM Bradley, represented the buyers.
The one-story church was built in 1970 and is assessed at $1.07 million, according to property records.
