Cascades at Parks Mill

Описание: Steeped in history, this historic grist mill property, known for generations as Parks Mill is offered with an existing special use permit, this remarkable multi-building compound unfolds as a place where past and present meet in a truly irreplaceable setting. For generations, rushing waters from 15-Mile Creek have hydro-powered life here, and today deeded water rights convey nearly a mile of creek frontage, complete with a private waterfall that sets the tone for everything that follows. The property has already proven itself as a successful event venue, with infrastructure thoughtfully established—parking, utilities, ADA considerations, and bathrooms distributed throughout—allowing gatherings of up to 300 attendees to continue seamlessly under new ownership.

At the heart of the property stands the  historic grist mill dating to the late 1700s, a substantial structure that anchors the land both visually and historically. Though non-habitable and requiring restoration, the mill offers a rare opportunity for adaptive reuse, lending itself naturally for use as a restaurant/bar, gallery, wellness pavilion, or cozy lodge, Surrounding the mill are three additional detached buildings constructed in 2003, creating a flexible compound-style layout across nearly 8 acres. The primary residence serves comfortably as an owner's retreat or caretaker's quarters, while a secondary building with covered porches invites use as guest accommodations, studio space, or a quiet place to gather. A bathhouse and utility building supports events, guests, and future wellness or service uses with ease.

The detached nature of the structures, existing utilities, and thoughtful distribution of bathrooms allow the property to transition effortlessly into a private residential compound, retreat, or legacy estate. Agricultural, mixed-use, and special-use zoning provide meaningful flexibility for hospitality, educational, cultural, or residential visions, while a newly permitted septic system installed in 2021 strengthens the foundation for future development. Portions of the floodplain offer additional income potential, with the ability to support up to ten tiny homes on double axles utilizing a dump-and-pump system.

Few properties of this kind remain—an authentic industrial landmark shaped by water, time, and purpose, yet supported by modern infrastructure and proven use. This is more than a property; it is a living piece of history, ready for its next steward to write the next chapter.
