How does South Peak compare to other New England ski resort destinations?
Loon is one of New Hampshire’s largest and most accessible resorts–403 skiable acres, 73 trails, and 13 lifts with a 2,190’ vertical—and it’s under continuous investment via the resort’s “Flight Path: 2030” plan. The South Peak expansion added new terrain and a new lift (Timbertown Quad) on the Lincoln side, further improving access. Compared with VT/ME flagships, Loon is slightly smaller in acreage but wins on drive time from Boston, modern lift infrastructure, and robust snowmaking coverage.
What real estate opportunities are available at South Peak?
A mix of homesites, custom single-family homes, and ski-in/out townhomes (The Residences at Fireside—41 modern-rustic units) are available, many with direct trail or lift adjacency to Loon.Inquire for current releases and pricing
