A waterfall runs beneath this Hudson Valley mill

Bloomvale Mill was built beside Wappinger Creek in the New York hamlet of Salt Point in the mid-18th century. Water still cascades alongside the stone building and passes beneath part of its lower footprint.

Dating to the 1750s, it began life as a grist mill before transforming into a cotton factory and later a cidery. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was converted into a residence in the late 1960s. Upstate Down has listed it at $5.25 million.

The three-storey mill retains its thick stone walls and tall, narrow windows. Inside, a double-height living space brings the original masonry into view, alongside a fireplace and wood stove. Later additions sit against the old stonework, while timber floors run through the main rooms.

The house has three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms, with two further bedrooms elsewhere on the property. In total, Bloomvale Mill has five bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms across 3,424 square feet. Outside, the 12.91 acres follow the course of the creek through woodland and open ground. A walled courtyard and tiered decks sit close to the mill, while a natural swimming hole lies below one of the waterfalls. A separate studio and caretaker’s cottage are positioned further along the creek, forming a small collection of buildings within the landscape.
