Shenandoah Valley Inn and Wedding Venue For Sale

October 9th, 2017 by Peter Scherman

Sometimes an inn is just an inn, but this Shenandoah Valley Inn and Wedding Venue for sale is so much more!

Sited on a knoll overlooking the rolling hills of the Shenandoah Valley, the Inn at Old Virginia sits on almost 12 acres of land with lush lawns, rolling pastures, and mature trees.

Approached up a paved driveway from the road on the edge of historic Staunton, VA, this Shenandoah Valley inn and wedding venue for sale is a bed & breakfast that exudes “Old Virginia.” The inn is comprised of the main house with two guest rooms with bath (plus office with bath), living room, reception area, gift shop, fabulous and fully equipped commercial kitchen, and dining room in the conservatory with glass walls and ceiling. The pre-Civil War barn viewed from the conservatory was completely renovated in 2000 into 8 luxurious and spacious guest rooms and suites, half with whirlpools. The barn includes laundry facilities.

Staunton, VA sits at the crossroads of I-64 and I-81, both important interstate highways in Virginia. The City has done a marvelous job over the years reinventing itself with a historic downtown streetscape that offers wonderful restaurants, gift and specialty shops. Staunton is home to Mary Baldwin University and Stuart Hall, a co-ed school for grades PreK through 12, including boarding for grades 8-12. Minutes to the north of this Shenandoah Valley inn and wedding venue for sale is Harrisonburg and James Madison University, while to the south in Lexington is Washington and Lee University as well as the Virginia Military Institute. To the east is Charlottesville and the University of Virginia. In short, Staunton is at the heart of education in Virginia!

With colleges and universities come graduates, many of whom want to get married close to their alma mater. The Inn at Old Virginia is ideally located and with the facilities to make this come true. With 10 rooms, it can handle a full wedding party, and there are hotels nearby to accommodate the remainder of the guests. The grounds are spacious and photogenic, affording the opportunity to hold weddings of up to 175. The commercial kitchen is ideal for onsite catering, should an owner wish to develop the food side of the business. A restaurant open to the public is not out of the question, either.

There is a comfortable and separate apartment wing of the main house for owners or managers, making this an ideal inn for anyone seeking a business opportunity and the lifestyle that comes with it. Performance the past few years has been modest due to the owner’s health, but the growth potential is significant, given the property’s perfect setting, size, and facilities for weddings and events as well as luxurious bed & breakfast accommodations.

This beautiful Shenandoah Valley inn and wedding venue for sale is offered exclusively through The B&B Team, Inc. For details, contact Peter Scherman, 434-286-4600.

Midcoast Maine Waterfront Inn for Sale

September 5th, 2016 by Janet Wolf

This midcoast Maine waterfront inn for sale is set on 4.44 acres on the Kennebec River. Built in the 1770’s, a glorious example of pre-revolution Georgian-style architecture. There are 8 guest rooms (6 guest rooms and a 2 room suite) with 7 baths, all located in the main house and adjoining addition built in 1870.

The Inn is well established as a prime wedding destination. The historic and spacious barn (with level floor and ceiling!) has been renovated and offers a wonderful rustic space to become beautifully transformed for events and weddings.  The spacious gently sloping lawn also offers options for tented or open-air events as well.  And the setting in front of the water is just beautiful!

As you enter the Inn you gain an immediate sense of the gracious lifestyle of times past. From the heavy front door with its bulls-eye glass panel to the wood-paneled grand staircase, the rooms retain most of the original 18th Century touches. The formal first-floor rooms and the four guest accommodations above allow guests fabulous views over the sweeping lawns and Kennebec River.

The adjoining 1870 ‘Ship’s Carpenters’ Quarters’ houses three second-floor guest accommodations and the first-floor Woodshed room with its own private verandah – perfect for romantic getaways and honeymooners.

Owner’s quarters is a 2-3 bedroom, 1 bath two-story space in the barn with open floor plan, kitchen, living room, dining room and picture windows looking out towards the water.

Location is key. Situated just 15 minutes down a quiet peninsula from Bath and just 45 minutes north of Portland, the location offers a perfect secluded spot to use as a home base to explore much of coastal Maine.  Nearby charming villages include Freeport, Brunswick, Georgetown, Boothbay, Wiscasset and Damariscotta. Kennebunkport, Camden and Rockland are just over an hour away. Popham Beach is just a short ride down the base of the peninsula and offers a beautiful spot for sun and relaxation.

This midcoast Maine waterfront inn for sale is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as the McCobb-Hill-Minott House. Many original details remain visible in this outstanding pre-revolutionary mansion. Today the main house is recognized as “an outstanding example of a pre-revolutionary mansion, exceptionally well-detailed and finely proportioned”, according to the 1962 Historical American Building Survey. Most of these original details are still evident in the general construction; window shutters and window seats; wood floors and paneling; grand open fireplaces; and the fascinating ‘witch’s door’ with its Roman and Greek crosses to ward off evil spirits!
