An irreplaceable 27-acre land holding on Okemo Mountain, offering one of the most unique ownership opportunities in southern Vermont. With direct access to the Mountain Road Trail, acreage bordering the Sidewinder Trail, and Coleman Brook defining the northern boundary, this extraordinary property occupies a setting that is virtually impossible to replicate. Selective clearing could reveal sweeping easterly mountain views. Whether your vision is a legacy family compound, an exceptional private mountain retreat, or a long-term investment, opportunities of this scale and location rarely become available. Think beyond the existing improvements and imagine what 27 trailside acres on Okemo Mountain could become. The residence offers three levels of living space plus a basement and includes five marble bathrooms. The home has been vacant, vandalized, and is in significant disrepair, requiring extensive restoration. The condition of all utilities and mechanical systems is unknown, and the property is being sold strictly "as is." Winter access is currently by ski lift, with off-season access via Mountain Road. For buyers who recognize that truly exceptional locations cannot be recreated, this is an opportunity to secure one of Okemo Mountain's most remarkable land holdings.
