Tour of $3.3 Million Dollar Home

This is a tour I took of The Lasater Mill House when it was up for sale in the summer of 2008. (I actually forgot that I made this video.) The real estate company that had The Lasater Mill House listed held a public open house and I attended. Lots of people went simply because this is a historic and rather unique house. Everyone wanted to finally see what the interior looked like. This would probably be the ONLY opportunity most of us would ever have to be inside of this house. The Lasater Mill House was listed as having 6,800 square feet on an acre lot nestled into the side of a 50 acre lake. The house was built in 1929 - price tag: $3.3 million. One of the most unique features of this house is that the lake comes right up to the side of the house. It was originally a grist mill of some sort - but I cannot seem to find the history regarding that.

The Lasater Mill House was sold to an individual in late 2009. The house is now used for an artist residency program and private art shows.

The Lasater Mill House website states:
"The people at Lasater Mill House may be an eclectic group, but they share one common denominator - a deep appreciation for the arts.
Situated on serene Lasater Lake, the historic Mill House provides the perfect background for peaceful reflections and the essence of inspiration. With this in mind, the artist-in-residency program became a natural extension of the philosophy shared by those at Lasater Mill House:
Every Act Creates A Ripple
By providing a space for artists to actualize their potential, the hope of furthering the passion of the arts to others is born."

I work at the mill and have for several years. 1) he "backyard" stops by inside the house only during massive flooding (every 20 years give or take. 2) The stairs are slippery and I have fallen down the last five...not soft... 3) upkeep is pricey but it would be in any home. Recently there have been huge renovations with an eye to helping make the property more ergonomic to maintain!

@BStewart27 - Awesome to hear about the renovations! Yeah, those stairs....I was afraid of them. LOL I wish I could see the place now. Any plans for an open house or anything?

looks like an easy backyard to mow.

[MyRealityBytes]

@RDJim - LOL! good point! However, in this case, I would be worried my backyard was going to end up in my basement.

That was one cool looking staircase!

[MyRealityBytes]

@SCL0PS - The stairs looked cool, but they were hard to climb.They were made of polished marble and they were slippery.

I can't even imagine the amount of money it takes to keep that place looking like that.

I like the water areas though.
