The historic Wilson Mill, dating to circa 1860, is a distinctive Post & Beam property originally used as a grist, stave and saw mill through the 1950s. Owned by one family from 1964 to 2021, the property served as a summer residence before being partially converted to year-round living in the late 1970s. From 2021-2024, the current owners undertook an extensive renovation and restoration, preserving the original Post & Beam character while creating a versatile year-round property with options for single-family living, multi-generational use or rental income.
The main level offers 3,200± square feet of open living space, with vaulted ceilings, wide-plank floors and exposed beams overlooking the Piscataqua River and wooded surroundings. The spacious kitchen features custom cabinetry, butcher-block countertops, herringbone flooring and a large center island. Upstairs, the primary suite and full bath provide a private retreat overlooking the expansive living area below.
The lower level offers additional flexibility, with a private entrance, full kitchen, living and dining areas, two river-facing bedrooms, a den or potential third bedroom, and laundry. This space can function as a separate living area for guests or rental use, or be incorporated into the main residence.
The river is an integral part of the setting, flowing alongside and beneath a portion of the home. Multiple decks, patios and a porch provide opportunities to enjoy the surrounding landscape, while a walking bridge leads to additional space across the river. Rich in history and architectural character, the Wilson Mill offers a rare combination of restored Post & Beam construction, flexible living options and a remarkable riverfront setting.
