Property Watch: Iconic Willowbrook Mill Up For Sale

Oct. 31, 2025

One of Northport's most icnonic buildings is for sale.

Willowbrook Mill at 201 N. Mill Street was listed this week at $1.6 million.

Described in the lisiting as Northport's "most photographed buildings," this notable event venue comes as a "turnkey investment," with the real estate, established trade name, commercial kitchen equipment, and an invaluable Class C liquor license, which is tied to the property and is non-transferable.

The property has seen significant structural (2005) and infrastructural (2016) investments through the years. The architecture is beautifully restored, offering several distinct spaces: a generous lobby with two-sided stone fireplace, a grand ballroom served by a commercial kitchen and featuring rustic wood and stone finishes, private porch bar, creekside retail area, creek level grotto, and a second-floor studio apartment.
