Own an established Boutique Inn or make it your own stunning Private Estate! Located just minutes from downtown Harrisonburg and James Madison University, By the Side of the Road Inn & Cottages is a historic, income-producing property with endless potential. Built in 1789 with an 1840 addition, the Main House once served as a Civil War hospital and was extensively renovated in 2023. With a recent re-branding and 26 years of success, this is a turnkey business or an incredible residential opportunity. Operate as a 7-suite Inn, including 4 suites in the Main House and 3 private Cottages, or live in the Main House and rent the Cottages. The property includes an Innkeeper's apartment, a 3-car garage, and a Special Use Permit for continued hospitality operations. One Cottage dates to 1840, while two were built in 2005. With Harrisonburg's growth, JMU's growing popularity, and the Shenandoah Valley's tourism appeal, this is a rare chance to invest in history, hospitality, and prime real estate! Owner/Agent
