Woodbourne Manor & Estate with Bald Top Brewing Company
About The Property
Woodbourne Estate, circa 1810, is a National and Virginia registered historic landmark set on 53 acres in Madison County, less than 90 miles from Washington, D.C. Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the property combines two extraordinary elements: the award-winning Bald Top Brewing Company and the beautifully restored Woodbourne Manor. Together they create a rare chance to acquire a profitable, highly regarded brewery and hospitality business within a historic and scenic estate.
At the top of the hill sits Bald Top Brewing Company, Virginia’s first historic farm brewery and a beloved destination for locals and travelers alike. Known for its rustic farm ambiance, scenic outdoor seating, and family-friendly atmosphere, Bald Top offers a wide variety of craft beers and wines from around the world, to be savored with hand-tossed, wood-fired pizza, farm ingredients and more from its full service, onsite restaurant, “Scratch.”
Unique to this property are its transferable licenses and special use permits which allow the new owners to enjoy income on day one, avoiding the lengthy, and often denied approval processes required for unestablished business. Committed staff, proven processes, recipes, social following, trademarks, and know-how convey to the new owners. Permits allow Bald Top to seamlessly continue to host brewery and restaurant guests, weddings, private parties, outdoor music events and more onsite to great acclaim. Guests consistently praise its welcoming vibe and flavorful brews, while excellent Google reviews and a loyal following underscore the strength of the brand.
Just a short stroll from the brewery lies the historic Woodbourne Manor. This elegant circa-1810 home has been meticulously restored and now serves as luxurious guest accommodations. Rented exclusively to one group at a time for up to 10 guests, the Manor offers total privacy within its gardens and tree-lined grounds. Guests enjoy access to a heated saltwater pool, hot tub, patios, porches, BBQ deck, fire pit, and garden gazebo. Many describe their stays as peaceful, exclusive, and unforgettable. The Manor is currently under-rented, leaving significant growth potential through higher nightly rates, expanded bookings, and the untapped wedding and events market.
Together, Bald Top Brewing Company and Woodbourne Manor create a truly unique lifestyle and business opportunity. With transferable licenses, profitable operations, and the winning combination of an exceptional track record coupled with high growth potential, this offering delivers the best of both worlds: the energy of an award-winning, thriving brewery paired with the bucolic charm, beauty, and exclusivity of a historic estate.
