#converted mill

[hometoursandotherstuff]

This is one of the nicest old mill conversions I've seen. They built around the original working parts of the 1856 mill in Lone Rock, WI. 2bds, 2ba, 4,388sqft, $849,900.

Not only did they build around the original components of the mill, but they've also incorporated architectural salvage pieces, like the frame around the double doors looks like it was a mantel from a huge fireplace.

This is so pretty.

Through those double doors there's a lovely, roomy vintage bath.

Nice dining room. They arranged furniture and salvaged pieces to act as walls and separations. All of the columns and ceilings are original.

The kitchen is lovely. It doesn't look like a fitted kitchen, yet all of the pieces go together perfectly.

Salvaged vintage drainboard sink.

Clever, interesting way they arranged the pieces.

Then, along the side they made a delightful sunroom.

Cozy, and it gets lots of sun.

On the 2nd level, there's a roomy, light-filled studio.

The primary bedroom is very large and there's an old fan suspended from the ceiling.

They fashioned the shower under an original part of the mill. That's so clever.

And, look at the grinding gears.

I love to see the mechanisms.

This bedroom has 2 beds in private frames with curtains.

There's plenty of room for gym equipment.

Plus, there's an entire TV room with room to spare.

A huge fairly new barn also serves as a garage.

It's a very large space.

In the back there's a ramp to the 2nd level.

It's cavernous.

Plus, there's another garage on the house.

And, another outbuilding. 2.39 acre lot.

I love converted mills, but only if they incorporate the original equipment, and this is a type of mill I've never seen before- it's a corn mill, built in 1810 in Naas, Leinster, Ireland. 6bds, 2full, 2.5bas. $1,793,478

They converted the building into a home using museum techniques to preserve the inner workings. Am I lovin' that!

It does feel just like a museum. Look at how they preserved some of the ancient artifacts in glass.

I like the stone floors. Wonder if they're original. This is the ground level, and there are 5 floors.

1 of the 2 full baths is spacious and has wonderful large beams.

This home office is set among the workings of the old mill, too.

This pretty bedroom is on the ground floor.

And, so is this cute room.

What a beautiful living room. Look at the iron wheels. This is incredible.

This is stunning.

What a beautiful kitchen. Look at the original floors.

The kitchen is so large, it has a counter, and a big table, but there's also a large formal dining room.

On this floor, there's a cozy family room.

This bedroom has a nice big closet and an en-suite.

This building is very big. These stairs on the upper floors are spiral, but they look wider than the usual modern styles.

They primary bedroom is very large and has an en-suite.

What a pretty courtyard.

Beautiful grounds.

This equipment looks current. It must still turn the wheel.

There's a river and fruit trees on the property.

The lot measures 3.01 acres.

Oh, here we go. Can’t resist a converted mill. Sigh. It was built in 1780 and has a working water wheel. $1.850M.

What a lovely entrance.

You can watch mill work from these windows. 

The kitchen is beautiful Love the sink and fireplace.

The dining area is next to the kitchen and shares the fireplace.

That sink is so cute.

It has 3 bdms. and 4 ba. 

This larger room is probably the main bedroom. 

The room has a loft and each bdm. has its own bath.

There’s room for horses.

And, this is another house on the property.

Beautiful property.

Love old converted mills. This one is in Alburtis, Pennsylvania, was built in 1800 and for sale for $1M.

It’s big, open, yet cozy and warm.

Here’s a nice sitting area. Very comfortable space.

And, look at this, a bar.

This looks like there may have been some mill equipment here. I hate when they remove it all.

There was definitely something here that they took out. 

Has a huge kitchen. 

Dining area next to the kitchen.

Formal dining area.

This looks like a horse stable.

They used this space as a rental hall. 

It has a kitchen for cooking.

And, there’s a small TV room upstairs.

It’s a nice catering venue.

This is such a large mill, I wish they would’ve left some of the original equipment and incorporated it into the design.

Beautiful piece of property.

OMG, they completely modernized this old mill in North Carolina. Not even one piece of the old equipment is left, but they say the mill still works. They’re selling it now, for $1,999,000.

I feel sick looking at this. 

If I had $250,000 and at least $500,000 more to spend on reno, this would be the mill for me. It’s an 1863 Mill in Louisa, Virginia and it’s complete. Take a look inside this baby.

I would have them build around all this equipment. 

Maybe a glass floor over this.

Might make a good kitchen area.

Wow, a millstone for the garden.

All of this would stay, even if it was enclosed it in glass. 

It would be like living in a museum.

I would preserve it all. Or, at least most of it.

Check out the view of the river.

This would make a fabulous deck over the river. 

What a great view.

On a lovely country road. Maybe it would take $1M, but there’s a lot of potential.

I’d rather spend money on making a bedroom out of this. 

Spend nearly $2M on this abomination? They should’ve left the old mill alone and built themselves a new house, b/c they ruined a beautiful historic building.

This is wonderful- it’s an 1830 Stone Mill in Frenchtown, NJ and it still retains its beautiful form in its re-imagined purpose as a substantial retail/studio space and 4 one-bedroom loft apartments. It’s really a unique property. The retail/studio is on the first floor and the 4, 1bdrm. apts. are on the second.

The store is lovely. 

Look at the original wide mill floors. It appears that at least these 2 apts. have bedrooms in lofts. 

The ancient walls in the living room are gorgeous.

The kitchens are all redone and are natural light wood with slate tile floors.

I like the decor in this bedroom. 

There are only 2 of the apts. pictured and they’re both just so pretty. 

This one has full stairs while the other one has more rustic, ladder-like stairs.

The kitchen is done in the same materials.

This loft bedroom is a little larger and has room for a sitting area.

The walls in the remodeled bath blend in beautifully with the aesthetic.

What a great building.

Beautifully converted 1800s mill has all the equipment still inside, just the way I think it should be. 

It’s in such a pretty area, too, in Upstate New York. 

Tucked away behind an updated willowing machine is the dining area. The looming structure creates a sense of intimacy in an otherwise open house.

The upper level of the mill most resembles a loft.

The living room might be the most eclectic area of the mill. Augers hang across the ceiling while a steel roller mill machine is stationed off to the side. The painted walls change up the all-wooden façade.

Love that they kept all of this equipment.

Nice big bath. 

Isn’t this pretty.

The beautifully converted 18th Century Deans Watermill in West Sussex, England, has ALL the machinery still intact.

The kitchen is a newer addition with a beautiful glass ceiling and big Aga stove.

Cozy library.

Beautiful study- look at the glass wall!

Lovely space with stairs going to the 2nd level.

This bedroom is amazing- look at all the machinery. 

This is how you redo a mill. I saw a winery on TV the other day, where they got rid of all the machinery and literally ruined it. There was one piece of cool equipment left, which they removed and made a mud room in it’s place. Sheesh!

Check out this bathroom and bedroom. I love this home!
