The beautiful Mills Ranch was acquired in 1923 by Henry Mills Sr., the grandfather of the present owner's. This unique ranch has been in the same family since purchased. The magnificent historical rock home was built by Henry Mills Sr. in 1924. Using rock off of the ranch, hauled in wagons from the bluffs on Howard draw, the home still stands strong and prestigious as in it's early days. The thick walls and ceilings are made of rock and plaster. The large living room and dining area have hardwood floors. They still shine and look as good as they did the day they were laid. The old two story home consists of 8 bedrooms and 2 baths. The first floor of the house has central air conditioning and butane heat.

In the early days Mr. and Mrs. Mills saw a need for a mercantile store and Post Office to serve the Pandale community. The Mills family promptly built the concrete store a short distance from the family home in 1928. Mrs Mills was appointed Postmistress and ran the Post Office. The store and Post Office remained in operation until 1975. In later years after the store closed a fire consumed the stores roof, however the walls and floor are still intact.

The ranch mainly stocked sheep and goats. Close to the main house is a set of working livestock pens, laborers house, two barns and a saddle house. One barn is of concrete walls and floor with a metal roof. The other barn is of metal construction with a concrete floor.
