Rutland Herald – Housing development breaks ground at Killington
Summary
After nearly a decade of planning and permitting, the Base Camp at Bear Mountain project is moving forward with strong early sales, premium pricing, and a fully approved master plan that allows for future expansion.
The private, gated community will offer four-bedroom, five-bath residences with high-end finishes and direct access to Bear Mountain skiing.
Commentary & Tie-in to BCBM Real Estate
With Act 250 approvals, wildlife habitat concerns, traffic impact, and municipal services already resolved under a master plan allowing up to 100 units, Base Camp at Bear Mountain carries a significantly lower entitlement risk than most on-mountain developments.
Steve Malone’s comparison of slopeside land to waterfront property underscores the rarity of developable space on ski mountains.
While operationally separate, the project’s proximity to the Bear Mountain Quad and Skye Peak Express integrates seamlessly into the resort ecosystem.
