Beautiful converted 1900 historic mill in Quakertown, Pennsylvania has the original mill stone on the lawn, that was used to crush and grind the wheat and grains for bread. 4bds, 3ba, $885K.

I do like the entrance hall- beautiful leaded glass door.

Through the door is a vast main living space with a long stone fireplace and what looks like another millstone for a coffee table.

One step up is a very large dining room area off the kitchen.

The large eat-in modern country kitchen.

Cute half bath with a barrel sink.

Interesting how they put a wall over the stairs.

The primary bedroom is huge and look at the fireplace and stone wall. The ceiling also looks original.

One of the other bedrooms. Smaller, but a good size.

The full baths are disappointingly plain.

The home is listed as a single family but there's another big living/dining room and a kitchen up here.

These are the original hand hewn and joined beams.

There are so many large rooms, I'm wondering how much it costs for heat in the cold Pennsylvania winters.

There are rooms of work areas. The home is huge.

The water trough that drove the mill is still here.

The stucco top coat on the house is wearing off and exposing the stone. Looks like a picture.

The garden is lovely.

The mill stream flows past the large redwood deck. There's a total of 4.51 acres of land.

Beautiful 1780 Post and Beam Gristmill for sale in Trap hill, N. Carolina, for $1.648M.

You can see that they made a table out of some part of the mill, and there’s something in the floor where they removed something. I wouldn’t remove the original workings, but some owners don’t want that feature.

Very nice wood in the kitchen- beautifully done.

There’s a lovely stone fireplace between the kitchen and dining room, and what looks like a trap door in the floor.

Bath with water trough tub and laundry closet.

Stairs to the 2nd fl.

Like how the ceilings are open and the bds. have en suites.

In this room a loft provides extra space.

Deck with a great view.

Plus a large covered porch.

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.

I know that some of you will really dig this fixer upper in Bryant Pond, Maine, but alas, someone already bought it for only $85,000. Built in 1824, it didn’t only serve as the local post office, but was a working mill that made caskets. 

The mill looks a little rough, but the living quarters is totally livable while it’s being fixed up. 

Look at this gorgeous historic home. (I have no idea why they have garbage bags hanging.)

The huge antique stove was not only the heart of the kitchen, but it probably heated the whole place, too.

The house is pretty spacious. There’re some older knotty pine cabinets in the corner.

The kitchen and living room have potential- look at the loft in the living room. And, the beams on the walls are fabulous.

This is the only bedroom, but I’m sure it could easily be expanded. The floor looks original.

Hand tools and equipment were left in the mill, but this the part you’ll like-

Some of the finished coffins are stacked up on the shelf. There’s a stack  marked “5 x 0″ probably indicating that they’re for people 5 ft. tall. 

Notes on the wall for orders?

Old newspaper articles the workers pasted up.

Wage laws.

Photo of the local customers.

This is quite a comprehensive woodworking shop.

I would definitely make this part, w/all the workings, part of the house.

More caskets over here.

This is awesome- so much history.

Look at the repair to this piece of wood that they made.

They had music while they worked.

A shipping label.

Wooden spikes, in case a vampire shows up.

It came with 2.5 acres of beautiful land.

Aerial views of the neighborhood.

Whoever scooped up this property for less than $100,000 got a helluva deal.

In love with this historic grist mill in St. Johnsville, New York b/c it has ALL the old equipment. It’s a store, as well as a home, with several other buildings on the property. 

Isn’t the store cute? There’s also a B&B across the street. 

Powder room.

Look at all this wonderful stuff.

The kitchen is gigantic.

Love this - eating amongst the equipment.

Cute bedroom- look at the antique barber chair- it’s actually a salon.

More sleep space.

The upper floor bath.

TV room has 6 TVs for some reason. 

Love it.

River beside the mill.

The bed and breakfast across the street.

This beauty comes with it.

Isn’t this pretty for guests?

Cute country kitchen.

Look at this bedroom & bath. I wouldn’t rent this one out.

What a gorgeous B&B.

The barn on the property.

And, a little cabin. What a property.

The magnificent 1835 Stone Mill in St. Johnsville, New York has been on the market for over a year. It’s been turned into a luxury home and the asking price is $549,000. 

The kitchen is huge. I thought it was a restaurant, at first. The owners are also willing to negotiate a price for the furnishings. 

I love that they left all the mill workings. 

This is such an amazing home. 

Isn’t this beautiful?

The bedrooms are so large they have bathrooms and little kitchens.

This would be such a fascinating showpiece of a house to live in. 

This adorable little gray house next to the mill is the miller’s home. It’s being sold separately.
