Sunset Crest Manor: An Event-Ready Country Estate Near Dulles Airport

Walter Nicholls
March 18, 2010
Opened in late 2009 near Dulles Airport, the 82-acre Sunset Crest Manor offers a rustic but luxurious 6,000-square-foot barn that is surrounded on three sides by 5,000 square feet of landscaped terraces and sweeping country views.

With a seating capacity of 100, the main level has cream walls, a polished neutral granite floor, a seven-seat black and gray granite bar, and a natural stone fireplace. Amenities include a powerful audiovisual system, a 10-foot retractable video screen with overhead projector, computer hookups, karaoke, and a DJ booth. Three sets of glass doors open onto the terraces and lawns, which can be tented.  

A flight of wood stairs leads up to the loft, which has wood floors and walls. The lower level includes a catering area with refrigerator/freezer, microwave, commercial ice machine, and dumbwaiter access to upper levels. Total capacity for indoor receptions is 180.  

Come June, the estate’s 14,000-square-foot red-brick mansion, located just steps away from the barn, will also be available for events. The six-bedroom, nine bath venue will provide additional meeting space and overnight accommodations.
