Description
If you're searching for a truly remarkable historic property, consider one that has stood for centuries and served its community with purpose and pride: the iconic Parks Mill. Located in Abingdon, Virginia—just five miles north of the Tennessee border—this mill takes its name from the family who operated it for generations. Established in the 1780s by Irish millwrights who came to the New World to build mills on land granted under charter by England's King Charles, this remarkable structure has witnessed an unbroken thread of American history. It survived the Civil War and remains standing today as a rare testament to early American industry. Now situated on its remaining 8 acres, Parks Mill presents an extraordinary opportunity to own and steward a preserved piece of America's past.This waterfront property—now thoughtfully reimagined as an events venue for weddings, celebrations, and retreats—features four distinct buildings along with beautifully designed outdoor spaces, making it a genuinely one-of-a-kind offering. Imagine owning a private waterfront haven complete with water rights, a natural waterfall, and endless potential. Whether you envision a family compound, a thriving commercial venture, or a peaceful wellness retreat, this property provides the space, setting, and character to bring that vision to life.On 2.87 acres of the nearly 8-acre estate, a collection of carefully planned structures enhances both beauty and function. The bathhouse includes two accessible restrooms, a utility room, and laundry facilities. Nearby, a spacious lodge offers an open, light-filled, wood-paneled event hall wrapped in generous covered porches and anchored by a substantial built-in bar. The lodge overlooks a cozy fire-pit terrace set just above the creek bank, creating an inviting atmosphere for gatherings throughout the year.Behind the lodge stretches an expansive tree-bordered lawn offering exceptional privacy, complete with a cantilevered deck suspended over the cree
