There are dozens of habitable mills for sale in the UK right now. I'd run across ads for wind and water mills when looking at the housing market in Estonia a few months ago, but it never occurred to me how numerous they might be around the UK. Of course there are lots of mechanically-powered mills still standing. It wasn't all so long ago - over a century - that they were widely in use.

I received my first newsletter from the unfortunately-acronymized SPAB Mills Section today, including five full pages of mill ads. Average asking price was around the half million pound mark - but they generally come with a decent amount of land. I wonder what the mill market is like elsewhere in the world?
