Description

Welcome to 1700 N Texter Mountain Rd - a beautifully restored 18th century Mill located within West Cocalico Township, and surrounded by quintessential Lancaster County farmland. Situated on just shy of 2 acres is this unique opportunity to own one of Lancaster's iconic Mills. The Highland Mill, also known as Bechtel's Mill is a stunningly preserved 18th century grist mill located in northern Lancaster County. Once a hub for grain grinding, lumber sawing, and cider pressing, this stone mill powered by Harnish Run served generations of local families. Over the last two years, every inch has been touched in an extensive and deliberate restoration by its current owner. The attention to detail brings a 'wow' factor like you've never seen. 3.5 levels of modern finishes and touches are perfectly blended with the historic material and charm. Two full kitchens, and three full bathrooms (one on each level), allow for an in - law quarters, short term rental (with all furniture and personal belongings - interior and exterior to convey with a sale), co - op, or multi - generational living situation. Brand new windows, roof, HVAC, 1000 gallon propane tank, septic system, well, tankless water heater, water filtration system, and more. Restored brick floor, custom hickory flooring, and fully sprinklered to adhere to West Cocalico's short term rental requirements. Custom tile floors, brand new tiled showers and bathrooms on each level, new concrete patio, and new front deck with aluminum railing, and synthetic deck boards. No expense has been spared. The lowest level consists of a full kitchen, brick flooring, full bathroom, custom Murphy bed, washer and dryer, access to the +1, 000 bottle wine cellar, and side patio. One level 'up', is a full display of the 200 + year old construction with massive, exposed stone block walls, +16 ft ceilings, and space for a combined living and dining room. The next set of stairs leads to a second kitchen, living area, bedroom with king size bed, full bathroom, second set of washer and dryer, and access to the freshly poured concrete patio - perfect for grilling, and dining al fresco. The third and final level showcases more of the original architecture with vaulted ceilings, and many more original 'pieces' to the mill. Included is a kitchenette, full bathroom, brand new windows overlooking the neighboring farm, combo use of a sliding scrabble door and kids bed, 'floating' TV, and additional king size bed. A brand new he/she shed (restored boards, 6 inch studs, and fully insulated) overlooks the spring fed pond, where (so far) bass, catfish and carp have been hooked! Just like all the furniture and decorations/art on the inside, all recreational items (canoe, kayak, etc) will stay with the home. Truly move in ready! Bring your toothbrush, or start/add to your short term rental portfolio - without the need to purchase any items to begin operating. Enjoy proximity to West Cocalico Park, hiking and horseback riding on the Horse - Shoe Trail, gravel cycling or backpacking on the Conewago recreation trail, or a combo of hiking and rock climbing at the Birdsboro Quarry Loop. Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area and Speedwell Forge are also close - both offering fishing, camping, birding, and hiking. All of this within proximity to downtown Lititz, Lancaster City, Reading, and Philadelphia make 1700 N Texter Mountain Rd a unique, once in a decade opportunity.Show Description
