Award-Winning Brewery & Herb Farm 150 Ridgemont Rd 1 200 pi² Bâtiment spécialisé Vente à l’encan en ligne Middletown, VA 22645

Retained exclusively by the seller, OakCrest Commercial Real Estate is pleased to present the one-of-a-kind 10-acre property that has been the location of a thriving farm brewery, brewpub, and 10,000-square-foot event venue and business at 150 Ridgemont Road in Middletown, Virginia. Home to the well-known award-winning Backroom Brewery, Virginia's first farm brewery on Sunflower Cottage Herb Farm, 150 Ridgemont Road is an unmatched piece of real estate with the business FF&E included.

The property is located within minutes of the intersection of Interstates 66 and 81. It is deep in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, a popular tourist destination and one hour from Northern Virginia / Washington DC. The property borders Reliance Road which is a Virginia designated “Scenic Highway.” It is near Winchester—the fastest-growing metro in Virginia with 7.8% growth since 2020. When Warren and Shenandoah counties—both adjoining Winchester/Frederick County—are included, the contiguous market swells to 234,000–236,000 residents, elevating the corridor into a top-six Virginia metro by population. This expanded market creates a materially larger year-round customer base, deeper wholesale demand, and stronger leverage for tourism, transportation, and grant narratives. For a buyer, that means immediate taproom traffic, event revenue upside, and a clear path to scale distribution across the Shenandoah Valley and I-81 corridor.

Licensing & Compliance
• Sunflower Cottage is licensed as a Commercial Restaurant by the Virginia Department of Health (VDH).
• Backroom Brewery is licensed for beer manufacturing by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS).
• Sunflower Cottage is also licensed by VDACS for herbal jellies and jams manufacturing.
• The property holds both Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority (VABC) licenses for brewing beer and a full VABC retail license for beer, wine, and mixed beverages, On and Off Premise.

Awards & Recognition
The State of Virginia has registered more than 25 of Backroom Brewery's beer brands. The brewery has won multiple awards since entering its first competition in 2016. At that time, Backroom Brewery was named the most highly awarded brewery in Virginia by Virginia Craft Beer Magazine, winning three Gold medals and a Bronze in the “Best in Show” category.

Opportunity
In addition to its established brewery and event operations—including weddings, corporate gatherings, and private celebrations—the property accommodates RV travelers for overnight stays through an established national membership program, creating an additional revenue stream and attracting visitors from across the region. New ownership could further expand the restaurant, add a distillery, and develop short-term tourist rentals. Existing permits on this property include Garden Center, Brewpub, and Events larger than 100 guests. These permits will survive the acquisition. Farm breweries and distilleries are now allowed by right in Warren County.
