Property Description
Located in the heart of Maine's Moosehead Lake, Big Moose Mountain Ski Area presents a unique opportunity to own and develop a historic, year-round outdoor destination. With 1,191 mountainside acres and a remarkable 1,700-foot vertical drop, this mountain caters to all levels of skiing, from relaxed family runs to advanced, challenging steeps. Alongside its expansive slopes, the property includes an additional 425+/- acres along the main access road, ideally suited for residential development. The chance to build a vibrant mountain community, coupled with private access to a 12-acre peninsula on the shores of Moosehead Lake, enhances this offering, making it a prime investment in a setting rich with natural beauty and outdoor allure.
Moosehead Lake and Big Moose Mountain hold a storied past in Maine's outdoor heritage. Known for its pristine waters and vast wilderness, Moosehead Lake has attracted adventurers since the early 1900s, serving as a haven for boating, fishing, snowmobiling, and more. Originally named Big Squaw Mountain Ski Resort, this ski area has provided recreation to the region's residents and visitors for decades, transitioning through phases of ownership but remaining true to its roots as a community-oriented resort. For the last 12 years, Friends of the Mountain has operated the resort, investing over $1,000,000 in capital improvements and maintenance, keeping it open to the public and preserving its legacy. Another local group, The Moosehead Outdoor Alliance has further expanded the area's offerings by adding 14 miles of mountain biking trails with additional trails to be built, enhancing the mountain's appeal as a multi-season adventure hub.
For investors, this development opportunity offers a chance to contribute to the enduring legacy of Moosehead Lake while capitalizing on its growth potential.
