If you’ve ever dreamed of residing in a one-of-a-kind luxury home that floats on the water, your prayers have been answered.

Behold the Former Chapel on the Bay, touted as one of only two floating chapels globally, that’s now up for grabs at a divine price tag of $699,000.

Currently anchored in Palmetto, Florida, the Former Chapel on the Bay — which was converted into a heavenly residence — isn’t bound by earthly constraints.

Thanks to two Cummins Diesel engines, this floating paradise can set sail wherever your heart desires.

Blessed with two bedrooms and adorned with the original 30-foot steeple, the dwelling features seven stained-glass windows.

And fear not, as the windows are shielded by hurricane-proof glass.

A $1.3 million sum was invested to transform this floating chapel into a modern, waterborne wonder.

Weighing in at over 33 tons, the chapel’s entire structure is crafted from fiberglass, enabling it to float gracefully on the water.

Safety is paramount, with electric winches and steel beams ensuring stability, even in the face of stormy weather.

No need to worry about capsizing — this chapel stands firm as a rock on the waves, the listing notes.

Occupying 1,800 square feet, you are greeted by a covered deck.

The kitchen, adorned with marble countertops, features a double fridge/freezer and a floating island.
