From the screened porch feel the sights...Stately Historic Mill, now a distinctive and comfortable home where you experience a sense of history! Built in 1823, the ground floor was a blacksmith¢s shop and the upper two stories were used for grinding grain. In 1924 the mill was rebuilt as a home and has remained in the same family. In the great room, preserved historic detail includes massive hand hewn beams forming the ceiling with walls 3 feet thick, and there is a large fireplace and a wood stove. From the screened porch feel the sights and sounds of the 8 acres of field, stream and waterfall. A 2015 study on the hydroelectric potential of the property reveals that power could be generated to allow the property to be self-sustaining and also return some to the grid. The location lends itself to residential or commercial use.
