Extreme Real Estate: The Old Mill

Grist Mills Minus the Grind


Ever since the first century BC, long before anyone could pop down to the corner market for a bag of flour, people built elaborate water powered grist mills for grinding grain into flour. American grist mills have been around about as long as America has been the United States and many of these historic structures have survived to become unique private residences.

One in a MILLion


Sitting on 6 riverfront acres in the middle of the Mark Twain National Forest, the former grist mill has been converted into a rustic 5 bedroom and 1.5 bathroom getaway. Much of the original 3-story structure has been preserved such as the exposed sycamore post and beam construction and the rough wood floors worn smooth over time while at the same time modern amenities and conveniences have been added such as electricity, phone and internet services.

The Furniture Too?


The home is being offered fully furnished but the best part, perhaps, is that property taxes for the property are only $150 per year. That is not a mistake; the taxes really are just $150 per year.
