Although the foundation and structure of the house were laid in the 1970s, the old mill provided the wooden beams that now support the living room and dining room ceiling. The fireplace was created from river rocks, similar to the stones the slaves pulled from the creek to build the dam, which is still viewable on the right when you pull into the driveway. The wood flooring once bore the traffic of farmers bringing their grain to be ground on the millstone. The paneling in the family room and breakfast nook was worn smooth by the grain as it passed through the mill shoots. The slate that lines the walkways to the front door as well as the family room and kitchen also came from the mill. Mill doors were used throughout the house along with much of the original hardware. The flour produced by the mill was “Moffit-made” packaged in bags with a young women’s picture with ears of corn on it, and the bags are still available for purchase.
The five acre site, has a 3200 sq foot home with a 750sq foot deck overlooking Richland Creek. Built for entertaining, an industrial size BBQ sits in the deck waiting for your special occasion to celebrate. The living room and dining room are 1000sq feet and although fully furnished, management can accommodate 75-100 seated guests.
Randolph County artist Cathy Cranford Futral grew up in this home and painted many of her pictures here. Evidence of her talent is still displayed in the house, you can see her oil painting of the original mill in the family room.
The property is managed in an environmentally sustainable manner, no chemicals or pesticides are used in the house or on the land.
