About this property

The Manor at Hunter Ridge Estate

The Manor at Hunter Ridge Estate is a beautiful destination. This historic Virginia family home and farm is situated on a 500-acre private estate.

Enjoy 360-degree views of the ridges of the breath-taking Allegheny Mountains and the foothills of the world-famous Blue Ridge Mountains of the Shenandoah Valley, as you relax in our charming 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home.

Hunter Ridge Estate is just minutes from the Cities of Staunton and Waynesboro.
As a historic manor home, you'll be greeted with a touch of days gone by. From the moment you drive up to Hunter Ridge Estate, you'll be in awe of the beauty of the Shenandoah Valley as you soak up the mountain views that surround you.

Hunter Ridge Estate is a "working farm with southern charm", on a 500-acre private estate that's located just minutes from top destinations such as the American Shakespeare Center and the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton, Virginia and the Wayne Theatre in Waynesboro, Virginia. Entry points into the world-famous Shenandoah National Park and Blue Ridge Parkway are easily accessible. Shopping and dining opportunities await you in the nearby cities of Staunton and Waynesboro. Hunter Ridge Estate is also about an hour's drive from the cities of Charlottesville and Harrisonburg.


All bedrooms feature gas fireplaces and beautiful, craftsman trimmings.

The home also includes a fully-functional kitchen with a large supply of basic pantry items and a beautiful dining room.

The living area features a large, flat-screen television, large windows full of natural light, and comfortable, stylish furniture. There is an additional sitting area that's perfect for relaxing in front of the fireplace and enjoying a good book.

The grand staircase and balcony are highlights of the home's interior; and the southern front porch sets the tone of a proper Virginian, southern home that invites you to sit down, relax, and enjoy the beauty of nature that surrounds you.

You'll likely hear the gentle sounds of cattle lowing and the leaves rustling in the breeze as you unwind on the front porch or sit inside with a window open to the let in the air that you can only find among the mountains.

YOUR RENTAL IS FOR OUR ENTIRE 4-BEDROOM HOME (NOT "Room Only", but rather for the entire property).

Beautiful scenery, a lovely and well appointed house, a great family getaway weekend.

There was plenty of room to be together or to be by yourself. I love "old" houses, and this one was full of charm and character. Yet, the amenities were modern, and the kitchen was stocked with everything needed to cook and share meals and memories.

Wonderful accommodations in a beautiful location

The estate house was perfect for our family. Location was far enough out to be very picturesque and relaxing, yet close enough to Staunton to make easy drives into town for necessities

A bit of peace with amazing views.

This is an old farmstead house that has been meticulously renovated and modernized. The setting is about 25 minutes outside a city in the Shenandoah Valley, nestled in a valley, and with views of the Allegheny mountains. This is for you if you crave peace, quiet, rural life, and breathtaking views yet with many living amenities.

Our 2nd time at the Manor was as amazing as our first!

The surrounding vista is outstanding. The old Manor is beautiful and very welcoming. The accommodations are very clean, comfortable and the hospitality is amazing. We will be back again soon.

Great Family Get Together

The actual property exceeded what was advertised or described. Truly situated on a working farm with cows and spectacular scenery all around. Great place to explore Staunton and surrounding areas and look forward just to hanging out on the patio after a busy day.

Lovely and peaceful

Such a beautiful property and house. There is just one lane for cars and no traffic so it was a perfect location to have kids and pets. Our kids loved playing outside in the yard. The house was spotless and so impressive. We hope to get back again someday!

Wonderful, relaxing break

Annual Girl's trip. We explored during the day and relaxed in the evenings. We have been taking a yearly trip since 2005 and 2020 is the only year we have missed. Hunter Ridge was perfect.

It was absolute perfection!

We loved the home and the decorations were incredible. The whole house just felt cozy. Every little thing was well thought out, the dog crate and dog bed to the extras in the kitchen made our stay more comfortable. The grounds were perfectly kept and the view was incredible! So glad we chose Hunter Ridge for our time in Virginia. Thank you for all you do!

Loved everything about it

We took a three day weekend to visit with friends. The place was spacious and pet friendly---everything was amazing. We got around 6 inches of snow overnight which caused a brief power outage that morning, but our hosts came to make sure everything was ok (they were, plenty warm with gas fireplaces), and made sure we had food and brought hot coffee. We would love to stay again!
