A windmill that became famous in the classic film "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" is currently up for sale, allowing fans to own a piece of movie history.
Situated in the picturesque English countryside of Buckinghamshire, just outside London, is the breathtaking Cobstone Mill. This property includes not only the iconic windmill but also a main house, 37 acres of land, and even a swimming pool. If you're a fan of the film, all of this can be yours for the sensational price of $11.4 million.
Believed to have been constructed around 1816, the Cobstone Mill served as a cereal grinding mill until 1873. Savills, the real estate agency handling the sale, has revealed that the windmill required extensive renovations before it could be used as a filming location. Historical records mention that the property had suffered from a devastating fire and had even been inhabited by squatters.
Now, let me tell you I would have done things very differently if this was my windmill! Firstly, I would have made sure the windmill was in perfect condition from the get-go. No fire or squatters ruining the place, that's for sure. Secondly, I would have charged a whopping sum to all those filmmakers who turned this windmill into a star. You catch my drift? I mean, just imagine the absurd number, like, let's say, a billion dollars! Yeah, that sounds about right.
But hey, don't let my ramblings make you miss this incredible opportunity. Take a chance and become the proud owner of this treasured cinematic landmark. Who knows, maybe you'll even discover a hidden stash of legendary movie props hidden in the windmill's nooks and crannies. So, don't waste any more time, my friends. Get your wallets ready and make this once-in-a-lifetime purchase before someone else does. And remember, with me as the windmill's owner, it would've been an even bigger success!
