Sunnyside is a historic plantation house located at Clarksville, Mecklenburg County, Virginia. The house was built in three sections: a one-room, two-story, thee-bay frame dwelling with a side passage, built in 1833; a two-story, three bay I-house, begun in 1836 in front of the first dwelling and connected to it by a one-story hyphen; and a two-story, one room, one-bay addition built in 1837. Also on the property are the contributing late-19th century kitchen, an early-to-mid-19th century servant's quarter, an early-to-mid-19th century smokehouse, a mid-19th century shed, an early-20th century chicken house, the site of a 19th-century ice pit, a 19th and early 20th century tenant house / tobacco processing barn, three late 19th or early-20th century log tobacco barns, a 19th-century log tenant house, and the Carrington / Johnson family cemetery.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
