The Hillside Inn, a majestic New York bed and breakfast for sale, sits within a private 30 acre estate in the hills of historic Wyoming County, New York.
Located just one hour from Rochester in New York’s Niagara Region, the Hillside Inn is a natural destination for romantic getaways, meetings, retreats and weddings. Built in 1851, the stately mansion was designed to entertain important guests and welcome large gatherings. Today, this venerable New York inn for sale offers guests fine dining, elegant lodging and special events in the same splendid setting. The unique location, extraordinary grounds and historic grandeur combine to make Hillside a very unusual “small” Inn – an Inn with unrestricted capacity for expansion and growth.
The Hillside Inn has a gracious ambiance that is formal yet relaxed and welcoming. The 15,000 sq ft Inn is comprised of 3 main buildings: the Mansion, the Summerhouse and Hollyhock Cottage. Within the Mansion are the magnificent dining rooms, pub and commercial kitchen on the first floor, eight over-sized guest rooms on the second floor and a newly constructed two bedroom owners’ apartment on the third floor. Marvelous Greek Revival architectural features stand out at every turn. Charming Hollyhock Cottage, originally home to the estate manager, contains three delightful guest rooms. The extraordinary Summerhouse was built for dances and parties and accommodates 140 people with ease. The Hillside Inn complex is settled in a landscape of mature woodlands, meadows and formal gardens.
The current owners of this remarkable Inn have made extensive renovations, renewing Hillside’s historic grandeur and modernizing the infrastructure. The business focus has been on developing the restaurant and wedding business and enhancing the Inn’s reputation. This outstanding property has unlimited possibilities for further development because of several factors.
- The location is highly desirable. It is near major cities, and is also within the active recreation and tourism market of western New York. Buffalo and Rochester, each 1 hour away, are New York’s second and third largest population centers. Yet Wyoming County is known for its beautiful scenery and historic villages. The Inn is surrounded by abundant cultural and recreational attractions, including four season outdoor activities, museums, summer concerts, farmers markets and arts festivals.
- The Inn’s physical attributes are exceptional. The 30 acre landscape shelters the Inn’s tranquil, private environment, making it an ideal setting for an all-inclusive destination. The public rooms are majestic, accommodating large and small groups with great flexibility. Food service capacity is substantial. There is ample room for future expansion.
- Hillside is an historic treasure. Hillside is a part of western New York heritage. It has a “sense of place” where guests can imagine themselves in an elegant past. An authentic sense of place is a powerful asset for building an Inn’s identity, and is irreplaceable.
The Hillside Inn has all the elements of a thriving destination Inn. New owners will be entrepreneurs with a love of cuisine, nature and history. The modest offering price reflects both the owners’ desire to sell and our analysis of the Inn’s value in the current market. The offering price of $895,000 includes extensive furnishings, equipment, real estate and the business.
