I own a property that has a badly damaged chimney. My guess is that the
only real option is to have a new chimney built to replace it. But, just
in case, I thought that I would post here to see if there is any
possibility of repairing this one rather than replacing it.

You also need to find out appropriate Fire Code and building
regulations. Some jurisdictions may require repairs, others not,
some require repair by a licensed tradesman, etc. Local law
affects your property insurance too.
