A couple’s restored 170-year-old Wisconsin grain mill home has reportedly sold for $750,000, according to Shorewest’s listing search. The property, located at 33511 Old Mill Drive in Lone Rock, Wisconsin, was marketed as a furnished historic mill conversion with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 4,388 square feet.
The mill, which dates back to the 1850s, was relocated roughly a mile in March 2011 after its then-owner planned to demolish the building. Ross and Theresa Halverson, who have backgrounds as antiques dealers, took on the project and adapted the former industrial building for residential use while retaining elements of its original materials and machinery.
The renovated interior features an open layout, vintage furnishings, and a farmhouse-style kitchen. The property also includes a barn with heated workshop space and a separate blacksmith shop. The listing promoted potential uses including short-term accommodation, retreats, and events, subject to applicable local requirements.
The sale price and date have not been independently confirmed, and the transaction should be treated with caution. The property had appeared in listings at different asking prices, including $1.2 million, $849,900, $799,900, and $784,900. The reported sale price of $750,000 is significantly lower than the initial asking price.
The restoration of the mill took extensive work, including replacing the roof, improving insulation, and rebuilding the flooring. The couple also removed old equipment and reused original materials wherever possible. The result is a unique and historic home that showcases the couple’s attention to detail and commitment to preserving the past.
