About This Home

As of September 2018

Featured in every photo book published about Chester County, Pine Creek Mills is a quintessential local landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Open at times for Chester County Day, this amazing landmark property with its iconic buildings, setting, bridge and waterfall in sought after Chester Springs is available to the lucky buyer for the first time in 20 years. The well maintained property is a dream estate for anyone passionate about owning a piece of history. The intricate stonework and wood details throughout the buildings represent the finest of Chester County's vernacular architectural tradition. Currently used as a family compound, the property consists of four separate residences. A stone Main House (c.1801) features a formal Living Room, Dining Room, fabulous Kitchen, stunning Bedroom, and an Office. The Miller House (c.1890) is a spectacular residence featuring a spacious Living Room, Dining Room, newer Kitchen, Family Room, large Bedroom, Bath, and Loft. The Grist Mill (c.1790) consists of two apartments - the Main Level has a Living Room, two Bedrooms, Bath, and Kitchen. Upstairs is a spacious one Bedroom apartment with a Living Room, Dining Room, Bath, and Kitchen. The Sawmill Cottage (c.1764) is a two Bedroom residence, with an impressive Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, and Bath. Additional structures include a gorgeous stone Barn (c.1824) that would make an incredible Party Barn! Further, there is a two car Garage plus additional parking in the Wagon Shed, which could also be used as a barn. All set on 7.8 Acres, there is a stone dam on the east end of the property complete with a sensational waterfall. A double arched Stone Bridge spans the Lower Pine Creek which meanders along the southern border of the parcel. The property could be used as a single family compound, for several families, a group of friends or extended family, or a couple with the desire for a beautiful guest suite, office, work out space, entertainment space and more. You could also easily rent out one or all of the five dwellings to cover the mortgage - the possibilities are boundless! Set among preserved open space in Chester Springs and sought after Downingtown East School District, the property is convenient to routes 401, 113, 100, 202, and only a short trip to all major conveniences and the turnpike. This is a truly iconic trophy landmark property, perfect for a multitude of uses.
