A rare opportunity to redevelop a historic landmark into a future destination business. This 5,140 sq. ft. historic grain mill spans three levels along Ore Creek and offers the kind of character and visibility that restaurant, brewery, or entertainment concepts look for when creating a place people will gather and return to. There is an additional pole barn located on the North side of the property for convenience. Originally purchased in 2016 as a near tear-down, the property has since seen significant investment by the current owners, creating a solid base for its next phase. Floorplans have already been developed for a restaurant or brewery concept, providing a valuable head start on planning and buildout. Plans also include renovation of the parking lot to accommodate 27 spaces, supporting an approximate 70-person capacity. The multi-level layout offers flexibility for dining areas, private events, or expanded operations over time. The ability to install an elevator has been considered, allowing full use of upper floors as the business grows. With its historic presence, natural setting along Ore Creek, and strong visual appeal, this property is well suited for an owner looking to create a recognizable destination within the community.
