Wallbridge Mill — c1820 historic gristmill complex on Wharton Creek

±12.61 acres | 3 structures | creek frontage on both banks | pond

Once one of at least 125 Otsego County gristmills — and one of the last remaining complex mills of its kind — Wallbridge Mill operated as a sawmill, gristmill, tannery, and distillery across its two-hundred-year life. Built by the Wallbridge family on Wharton Creek c1820, the mill’s twelve-over-twelve windows, stone foundation, massive timber frame and classical moldings speak quietly to its age and craftsmanship. This is not a ruin. This is a rare surviving piece of upstate New York’s working history, waiting for its next chapter.

The combined property — now three parcels merged into one offering — spans ±12.61 acres along both banks of Wharton Creek, with manicured lawns, mature apple trees, lush established plantings, and a small pond. The structures include: the mill itself, a small house with garage on the upper portion of the property, and the former miller’s house – a later guest and boarding house, nestled creek-side next to the mill.

The opportunities here are as wide as the imagination: a private historic estate, an artist’s compound, an event venue, a boutique inn, an adaptive reuse project, a working mill restoration, or simply a singular retreat unlike anything else on the market in central New York. Historic preservation tax credits and grant programs may be
applicable — buyers are encouraged to explore state and federal incentives for properties of this significance.
