Down a winding gated drive where mature trees frame the approach to Shelly Mill, a breathtaking Arts & Crafts masterpiece born from an 1771 gristmill where the Ely family revolutionized grain processing. This extraordinary sanctuary seamlessly blends centuries of history with modern luxury across nearly 9.5 lush acres. Step inside to discover the completely preserved 18-foot diameter millhouse waterwheel integrated into the main floor, surrounded by thousands of turn-of-the-century Boston Grueby tiles, reclaimed leaded stained glass windows, and a dramatic 35-foot river stone fireplace. Original grand mill doors and interlocking exposed beams tell stories of industrial heritage while an elevator and gourmet kitchen provide contemporary comfort. Outside, entertain around the sparkling saltwater pool and sprawling bluestone terraces, or explore kitchen gardens and endless green space. This livable showpiece offers flexible multigenerational living just minutes from Doylestown, Peddler's Village, and New Hope's vibrant culture.
