About This Home
Gooney Creek Manor stands as one of Virginia’s most distinctive and historic properties. Tucked away in the picturesque upper Shenandoah Valley, the estate is enveloped by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah National Park, with the Shenandoah River just five miles to the west. From the moment you approach Gooney Creek Manor, with the creek and bridge on your right and the stunning mountains on your left, you immediately feel you are about to experience something truly exceptional. This mid-renovation treasure offers boundless possibilities and is an incredible opportunity for a discerning investor seeking a short-term rental or event space. Perfect for an AirBnB, retreats, or a variety of other purposes, the property also features Comcast Xfinity high-speed internet and WiFi— perfect for working remotely. Featured on the 2005 Virginia State Garden Tour and highlighted in several local tours, including Browntown’s Redbud Festival, this exquisite estate spans 4,000 square feet of living space. It includes the circa 1876 manor house and a pre-Civil War guest cottage connected to the main house by a breezeway. Gooney Creek Manor is listed on the Virginia Landmark Register and lies within the newly designated Browntown historic district. Additional structures on the property include a spacious two-story barn and a charming restored chicken coop. Panoramic views of the mountains, extensive creek frontage, an inground pool, and nearly 4 acres of grounds can be enjoyed from any of the estate’s 26 windows. The pre-Civil War guest cottage, once a summer kitchen, features a striking floor-to-ceiling double-sided stone fireplace and a full bath. Previously operated as a bed and breakfast, the guest cottage offers significant income potential today. As-is, Cash, Hard Money, or construction Loan or creative financing.
