The sales details describe it as a traditional rural church with potential for various uses such as a crèche, day nursery, day centre, educational establishment, museum, art gallery or public library.
It also has potential for other uses, subject to appropriate permission, such as a theatre, cinema or entertainment venue, retail space or community resource, or possible conversion to residential accommodation.
Although the property has a mains electricity supply, there is no water or drainage present on site.
According to the Highland Historic Environment Record, it was originally a school for girls and was supported by Mrs Ogilvy Corrimony with an daily average attendance of about 20.
The one-storey building, which originally had a thatched roof, was subsequently converted for use as a mission church to accommodate about 70 parishioners.
It was reroofed with an open roof of polished pitch pine.
Corrimony is among various churches being disposed of by the Church of Scotland to reduce pressure on congregational finances.
