I tend not to list
mills for sale on this page, since I've got a separate page for that (and because any
property details pages that I might link to are extremely temporary). However, this property caught my eye, as unusual in
a number of ways.
The Edward DeRose Windmill Cottage in East Hampton dates from c1885, and is a mock mill - a building simply constructed in
the shape of a windmill. The cottage is shingle covered, carrying a set of sails, and were it not for the large windows would
pass as a real mill at quick glance.
The property is currently on the market - its East Hampton location on New York State's
Long Island means that the $16.5M price tag
is not so over the top. For that money you get the 4 bedroom windmill cottage (where the windmill bit contains a foyer on the
ground floor, library on the first floor, and an office on the top floor), plus a separate 2 bedroom guest house and studio.
Within the walled 3.5 acre gardens there are a 50' swimming pool, tennis court, 3 car garage, and potting shed.
Full details may not be live for long, but
the
extract at Luxist should last longer.
