| REAL ESTATE
The Ragged Mountain property is comprised of over 2,000 acres, and was purchased in early 2007 by RMR Pacific, LLC. In addition to renovating the existing ski area and golf course, we are working with the Town of Danbury and the State of New Hampshire on plans to develop Ragged Mountain as a new, four-season master-planned resort community.
The beautiful location in southern New Hampshire about an hour and a half from Boston makes this an ideal place for a year round community. The plan is to have on-site amenities including the new eighteen-hole golf course and ski resort, plus other activities such as swimming and tennis, along with miles of hiking and biking trails.
Over 80% of the land will be reserved as open space, and the homes will be designed to blend into their surroundings. There will be a village of condominiums and townhomes at the base of the ski resort, and most of the rest of the homes will be built either on the golf course, on the ski slopes, or both.
The topography of the area ranges from the granite peaks of the mountains to the picturesque canyons and meadows, all of which are home to a multitude of wildlife. The landscape is heavily wooded and features maple, birch, and evergreens.
To preserve the environment of the community, and to maintain the wildlife habitat for both humans and animals to enjoy, the developers have asked Audubon International to consult on the project. The objective is to become an Audubon certified golf course and community.
Ragged Mountain is the only property in New Hampshire to have partnered with Audubon International to develop a comprehensive Natural Resources Management Plan to conserve biodiversity, promote sustainability, and maximize ecosystem management and ecological restoration. Over the next several years, Ragged Mountain will strive to become fully-certified as an Audubon International "Signature" Property. |
