Strand Millas and Rock Spring, Historic colonial estate in Montchanin, Delaware.

Strand Millas and Rock Spring is a 2.5-story quarried stone house with colonial architecture set on approximately 13 acres of land. The property includes two separate buildings that together form a historic residential ensemble.

The Gregg family emigrated from Ireland in 1682 and built the main house in 1701, then added rooms on each floor during the 1760s. This expansion shows how the estate grew as the family's circumstances improved.

The estate shows how early settlers built their lives around water sources and shaped the land accordingly. The way the main house and springhouse sit together reflects practical choices that shaped building in this time.

The estate is in a rural setting and accessible by local roads. Keep in mind that the buildings are historic and the land can be uneven, especially in wet weather.

The name comes from an industrial town near Belfast in Ireland, directly connecting the property to the family's Irish roots. This naming choice was common among settlers who wanted to preserve memories of home.
