Description

Incredibly unique, panoramic and serene property with over 18 acres. This historic property was built in 1878 and was the original, working Morrow Mill grist mill, which the road is named after. Two majestic, mature, magnolia trees flank the property as you pull in the private drive. There are three unique structures on the 19+acres. One is the Main house. One is the guest house and one is what is called the ''barn''. The main house is over 3200 sq. ft. with four bedrooms with an updated kitchen...Incredibly unique, panoramic and serene property with over 18 acres. This historic property was built in 1878 and was the original, working Morrow Mill grist mill, which the road is named after. Two majestic, mature, magnolia trees flank the property as you pull in the private drive. There are three unique structures on the 19+acres. One is the Main house. One is the guest house and one is what is called the ''barn''. The main house is over 3200 sq. ft. with four bedrooms with an updated kitchen with new cabinets, a subzero refrigerator, new dishwasher, induction cooktop and oven. Soapstone countertops and wonderful pendants round out the updated feel while blending in with the historic character. Both front porch and screened in porch have cedar flooring that was milled from cedar trees that grew on the property. The foundation of the property has been completely redone with the stones from the original mill property used for the walls of the terraces in the yard. Lots of flat outdoor space next to Cane Creek for entertaining. Original beams and floor joists provide historical provenance and character with the date of 1878 carved into one of the beams. Amazingly, One of the original millstones is set above the living room fireplace! Roof is from 2023. New HVAC from 2025. Main ductwork redone in 2023. Second floor shower remodeled in 2023. Two Huge solar ground mount arrays were installed up above the property(2024) with Tesla battery packs installed in both the main house(2025) and guest house(2024). Generac generators have been installed for both the main house and guest house. One is certainly prepared if power goes out to this property not to mention the savings on your electrical bill. Tankless hot water heaters accompany both houses as well. Speaking of the guest house, a lovely heated pool was built in 2017 with accompanying stone pool deck. There is a wonderful view of the property as you're relaxing on the pool deck. Updated countertops and sink for the main kitchen in the guest house were redone. There is also a sink and refrigerator off of the pool area for guests. A cute little room next to it houses a separate washroom and place to use the bathroom so guests don't have to come into the main part of the guest house. A private outdoor shower has been installed for guest convenience as well. The guest house has two mini splits. One from 2023 and one from 2026. The roof on the guest house is from 2023. The ''barn'' is the last structure on the property but certainly not the least depending on your amount of imagination. With over 4000 sq. ft. of heated and cooled, electrically connected and plumbed area to do with what you will, this space could be just about anything. The mini splits were put in in 2018 and it got a new roof in 2023. The third story has beautiful wood flooring and was used as an artist studio at one point in the life of this structure and the second story was used as a music studio on one side and a private gym on the other. Off to the side of the driveway as you pull up to the property is a fenced in garden area with a greenhouse. The owner is offering a deed right of first refusal for the property at 3121 Morning Ridge, which sits out of view above the mill on 10.01 acres. When my client bought this property, it had multiple offers and is an incredibly desirable property. No love letters or escalation clauses please.
